"It seemed so curious that she Should cross the unknown water, And moor herself within my room-- My daughter, O my daughter!

Cable.] "Oh, Peter, how pretty!" said Mother Carey all in a glow. "You never showed it to me!" "You were too much occupied with the aforesaid 'queer little craft,' wasn't she, Nan--I mean Nancy!" and her father pinched her ear and pulled a curly lock. Nancy was a lovely creature to the eye, and she came by her good looks naturally enough.
