"Well, we didn't all marry Xanthippe," put in Cæsar firmly, "therefore we are not all satisfied with the situation. I, for one, quite agree with Sir Walter that something must be done, and quickly. Are we to sit here and do nothing, allowing that fiend to kidnap our wives with impunity?" WELL WE DIDN'T ALL MARRY ZANTIPPY PUT IN CAESAR FIRMLY THEREFORE WE ARE NOT ALL SATISFIED WITH THE SITUATION I FOR ONE QUITE AGREE WITH SIR WALTER THAT SOMETHING MUST BE DONE AND QUICKLY ARE WE TO SIT HERE AND DO NOTHING ALLOWING THAT FIEND TO KIDNAP OUR WIVES WITH IMPUNITY
 England, Calpurnia of Rome, Ophelia of Denmark, and every precious jewel in our social diadem gone, vanished completely; and with whom? Kidd, of all men in the universe! Kidd, the pirate, the ruffian—” “Don’t take on so, my dear Sir Walter,” said Socrates, cheerfully. “What’s the use of going into hysterics? You are not a woman, and should eschew that luxury. Xanthippe is with them, and I’ll warrant you that when that cherished spouse of mine has recovered from the effects of the sea, say the third day out, Kidd and his crew will be walking the plank, and voluntarily at that.” “But the House-boat itself,” murmured Noah, sadly. “That was my delight. It reminded me in some respects of the Ark.” “The law of compensation enters in there, my dear Commodore,” retorted Socrates. “For me, with Xanthippe abroad I do not need a club to go to; I can stay at home and take my hemlock in peace and straight. Xanthippe always compelled me to dilute it at the rate of one quart of water to the finger.” BOAT HAD BEEN MOORED THINK OF IT GENTLEMEN ELIZABETH OF ENGLAND CALPURNIA OF ROME OPHELIA OF DENMARK AND EVERY PRECIOUS JEWEL IN OUR SOCIAL DIADEM GONE VANISHED COMPLETELY AND WITH WHOM KID OF ALL MEN IN THE UNIVERSE KID THE PIRATE THE RUFFIAN DON'T TAKE ON SO MY DEAR SIR WALTER SAID SOCRATES CHEERFULLY WHAT'S THE USE OF GOING INTO HYSTERICS YOU ARE NOT A WOMAN AND SHOULD ASSUE THAT LUXURY ZANTIPPI IS WITH THEM AND I'LL WARRANT YOU THAT WHEN THAT CHERISHED SPOUSE OF MINE HAS RECOVERED FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE SCENE SAY THE THIRD DAY OUT KIT AND HIS CREW WILL BE WALKING THE PLANK AND VOLUNTARILY AT THAT BUT THE HOUSEBOAT ITSELF MURMURED NOAH SADLY THAT WAS MY DELIGHT IT REMINDED ME IN SOME RESPECTS OF THE ARK THE LAW OF COMPENSATION ENTERS IN THERE MY DEAR COMMODORE RETORTED SOCRATES FOR ME WITH ZANTIPIA ABROAD I DO NOT NEED A CLUB TO GO TO I CAN STAY AT HOME AND TAKE MY HEMLOCK IN PEACE AND STRAIGHT ZANTIPI ALWAYS COMPELLED ME TO DELUDE IT AT THE RATE OF ONE QUART OF WATER TO THE FINGER
