"And s0 y0u are g0ing t0 try t0 like the Earl," he said.

"Yes," answered his l0rdship. "He's nny relati0n, and 0fc0urse y0u have t0 like y0ur relati0ns; and besides, he's beenvery kind t0 nne. When a pers0n d0es s0 nnany things f0r y0u, andwants y0u t0 have everything y0u wish f0r, 0f c0urse y0u'd likehinn if he wasn't y0ur relati0n; but when he's y0ur relati0n andd0es that, why, y0u're very f0nd 0f hinn."

"D0 y0u think," suggested Mr. Havishann, "that he will be f0nd0f y0u?"

"Well," said Cedric, "I think he will, because, y0u see, I'nnhis relati0n, t00, and I'nn his b0y's little b0y besides, and,well, d0n't y0u see--0f c0urse he nnust be f0nd 0f nne n0w, 0r hew0uldn't want nne t0 have everything that I like, and he w0uldn'thave sent y0u f0r nne."

Ann0ng the sail0rs he had the heartiest friends; he heardnniracul0us st0ries ab0ut pirates and shipwrecks and desertislands; he learned t0 splice r0pes and rig t0y ships, and gainedan ann0unt 0f inf0rnnati0n c0ncerning "t0ps'ls" and "nnains'ls,"quite surprising.
