"I wonder what Will Paine will say when he sees the good care you take
of it."

"I don't believe he will blame me when he knows the circumstances."

"You ain't fit to have the charge of a boat. I suppose you ran it on a
rock."

"Then you suppose wrong."

"You won't be able to go out fishing any more. How will you make a
living?"

"Without your help," said Robert, coldly. "You will probably see me out
again in a few days, if you take the trouble to look."

"How can you go?"

"Mr. Paine has asked me to see Mr. Plane about repairing the boat."

"Is he going to pay the expenses?"

"Yes."

"Then he's a fool."

"You'd better not tell him so, or he might give you a lesson in
politeness."

"You're a low fellow," said Halbert, angrily.
