CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. Paperback. New. Paperback. 126 pages. Dimensions: 11.0in. x 8.5in. x 0.3in.We had come home from school much earlier than usual, on account of illness having broken out there; but as none of the boys were dangerously ill, and those in the infirmary were very comfortable, we were not excessively unhappy. I suspect that some of us wished that fever or some other sickness would appear two or three weeks before all the holidays. However, as we had nothing to complain of at school, this, I confess, was a very unreasonable wish. The very day of our arrival home, when we were seated at dinner, and my brother Oliver and I were discussing the important subject of how we were to spend the next ten or twelve weeks, we heard our papa, who is a retired captain of the Royal Navyand who was not attending to what we were talking aboutsay, as he looked across the table to mamma: Would you object to these boys of ours taking a cruise with me round England this summer We pricked up our ears, you may be sure, to listen eagerly to the reply. Looking at Oliver, then at me, she said: I should like to know what they think of it. As they have never before taken so long a cruise, they may get tired, and wish themselves home again or back at school. Oh no, no! we should like it amazingly. We are sure not to get tired, if papa will take us. We will work our passage; will pull and haul, and learn to reef and steer, and do everything we are told, said Oliver. What do you say about the matter, Harry asked papa. This item ships from multiple locations. Your book may arrive from Roseburg,OR, La Vergne,TN., CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform<
