It seems to me there might be something to be said for that, you know?
So, all I can do is to renew my assurance of polite attention, offer you our best accommodation--which is luxurious--and promise to land you--somewhere--tomorrow.

Miss Greyle, we have two women servants on board--I shall send them to you at once and they will attend to you--please consider them your own.

You, gentlemen, will perhaps join me in my quarters ?--I have two spare cabins close to my own which are at your service." Copplestone and Vickers looked at each other and at Audrey--undecided and vaguely suspicious.

But Audrey was evidently neither alarmed nor uneasy--she nodded a ready assent to the Captain's proposal.
"Thank you, Captain Andrius," she said coolly.
