manager, anxiously. "Oh, yes." "How was it?" "Fine! It will be all the better with that little mistake in--look more natural." "Good! Then we'll leave it in. Now the rest of you get down the accommodation ladder. Stay there, Mr. Sneed!" he called to the grouchy actor, who seemed to want to leave the boat. "What! Are more of them coming in this little cockleshell?" "Certainly. That boat will hold twenty. Keep your place." "Well, we'll all be drowned, you mark my words!" predicted Mr. Sneed.
