We did not recognize him till he was close to us, for he was ashamed of himself, and turned his back to the ship.

We had left him plump, fat, clean, and well-dressed;--I never saw so complete and grievous a change.

As soon however as he was clothed, and the first flurry was over, things wore a good appearance.

He dined with Captain Fitz Roy, and ate his dinner as tidily as formerly.

He told us that he had "too much" (meaning enough) to eat, that he was not cold, that his relations were very good people, and that he did not wish to go back to England: in the evening we found out the cause of this great change in Jemmy's feelings, in the arrival of his young and nice-looking wife.
