And the danger being over, neither Davy nor the skipper took it ill
that the men should make sport of their groanings, for they laughed
with the rest, and together they waked a most reckless uproar.

All this while, though Mrs. Fairbrother had not left her bedroom, the
girls' feet had been jigging about merrily over the white holy-stoned
floor to get some supper spread, and Greeba, having tapped Jason, on
the shoulder, had carried him off quietly to the door of the parlor,
and pushed him in there while she ran to get a light, for the room
was dark. It was also cool, with crocks of milk standing for cream,
and basins of eggs and baskets of new-made cheese. And when she
returned with the candle in one hand, shaded by the luminous fingers
of the other, and its bright light on her comely face, she would have
loaded him with every good thing the house contained--collared head,
and beef, and binjeen and Manx jough, and the back of the day's
pudding. Nothing he would have, however, save one thing, and that
made great sport between them: for it was an egg, and he ate it raw,
shell included, crunching it like an apple. At that sight she made
pretence to shudder. And then she laughed like a bell, saying he was
a wild man indeed, and she had thought so when she first set eyes on
him on the shore, and already she was more than half afraid of him.

Then they laughed again, she very slyly, he very bashfully, and while
her bright eyes shone upon him she told him how like he was, now that
she saw him in the light, to some one else she knew of. He asked her
who that was, and she answered warily, with something between a smile
and a blush, that it was one who had left the island that very night.

By this time the clatter of dishes mingled with the laughter and
merry voices that came from the other side of the hall, and the two
went back to the kitchen.

 And the danger being over, neither Davy nor the master accept it ill

 All this while, though Mrs. Fairbrother had not entrust her bedroom, the

 floor to beget some supper spread, and Greeba, having tapped Jason, on

 was dark. It was also cool, with carbon black of milk standing for cream, 
 and basin of eggs and baskets of new - made cheese. And when she 
 render with the candle in one hand, shaded by the luminous fingers 
 of the other, and its bright light on her comely face, she would have 
 loaded him with every good thing the house contained -- collared head, 
 and beef, and binjeen and Manx jough, and the back of the day's 
 pudding. Nothing he would suffer, however, save one thing, and that 
 make big sport between them: for it was an egg, and he ate it naked, 
 carapace included, crunching it like an apple. At that view she made 
 pretence to shudder. And then she laughed like a bell, saying he was 
 a raving mad man indeed, and she had thought so when she first set eyes on 
 him on the shore, and already she was more than one-half afraid of him. 

 Then they laugh again, she very craftily, he very bashfully, and while 
 her bright eyes shone upon him she told him how like he was, now that 
 she saw him in the light, to some one else she know of. He asked her 
 who that was, and she answered warily, with something between a smile 
 and a blush, that it was one who had left the island that identical night. 

 By this time the clatter of dishes mingled with the laughter and 
 gay voices that come from the other side of the dormitory, and the two
