You have met Captain Desborough ?" "Captain Desborough, how are you ?" says Jim.

"I am very glad to see you.

But, between you and I, you're always a bird of ill omen.

Whose pig's dead now?
What brings YOU back?
I thought we should be rid of you by this time." "But you are not rid of me, Jackanapes," said Desborough, laughing.
"But I'll tell you what, Jim; there is really something wrong, my boy, and I'm glad to see you back." And he told him all the news.
Jim grew very serious.

"Well," said he, "I'm glad to be home again; and I'm glad, too, to see you here.
