In this case it seemed a small thing one way or the other and, having rendered a judgment against Sir John, I thought it not unlikely that the Admiral would yield now and so make matters equal. Some such thought was surely passing through his mind for he sat for a few minutes handling the book and looking at the cover ; then he raised... his eyes and gazed at me, while I stood trembling with anxiety, twirling my half of the sixpence between my fingers.
With a smile meant only for me, he glanced down at his half of the coin lying in his palm and, without another word, handed me the book.
I knew, as well as if he had told me, that the lucky piece was as a bond between us and, be- cause of that, he had yielded to its dumb plead- ing.
I seized my little book and, with low, murmured thanks and a curtsey, I hurried away with my heart beating joyously, for I saw an end to my 1 60 I OFFER SIXPENCE TO AN ADMIRAL troubles at last and an honorable discharge of the responsibility put upon me by Captain Tim- mons of the Bouncing Betsey.
