The next morning, happening to sleep a little longer than ordinary, when I got up, and began to look abroad, I saw the boatswain among the men in his ordinary business. I was a little melancholy at seeing him there, and going forward to speak to him, he saw me, and came towards me, but not giving him time to speak first, I said, smiling, 'I doubt, sir, you have forgot us, for I see you are very busy.'
Le lendemain matin, m'étant trouvée dormir plus longtemps que d'ordinaire, quand je me levai et que je montai sur le tillac, je vis le bosseman, parmi les hommes, à ses affaires ordinaires; je fus un peu mélancolique de le voir là, et allant pour lui parler, il me vit et vint à moi, et, sans lui donner le temps de me parler d'abord, je lui dis en souriant: --Je pense, monsieur, que vous nous ayez oubliés, car je vois que vous avez bien des affaires.
