summary: I am sorry to tear myself away from you, but positively I must go now; for the Chinese admiral will get very impatient if I am not on time, and I have some important business with him before dinner, said Christy, as he increased his pace and got away from Mr. Percy Pierson, though he was afraid he would follow him. I am glad to see you again, Mr. Percy Pierson, said the original of that name, as he extended his hand to Christy.

summary: The commander could not help looking at her till he made her blush by the intensity of his gaze, and after all, it is possible that Christy was as human as other young men of his age. The writer is willing to admit that his hero is an ideal character, though his lofty tone and patriotic spirit were fully paralleled by veritable individuals during the war; and he is not prepared to apologize for the abundant success which attended the career of Christy Passford.

summary: It is Mr. Christy, ma'am; nothing is the matter, replied Walsh; but then he appeared to think that he had replied without proper consideration, and he revised his speech.
