"Oh," said the Captain; then he hesitated. "Well, now, if you don't mind, I--I guess I won't call you Letty. I'll call you Letitia." "Call me anything you want to," said Mrs. Price, gayly. Then they all shook hands with one another and with the witnesses, who found something left in their palms that gave them great satisfaction, and went back to climb into their respective buggies. "We have shore leave," the Captain explained; "we won't go back to Old Chester for a few days. You may tell 'em, Lavendar." "Oh, may I?" said Dr. Lavender, blankly. "Well, good-bye, and good luck!" He watched the other buggy tug on ahead, and then he leaned down to catch Danny by the scruff of the neck. "Well, Daniel," he said, "'_if at first you don't succeed_'--" And Danny was pulled into the buggy.
