    Summary

    There must have been another way; of course there were other ways. But there had been the bearskin. And there had been a venomous, humiliated anger in Stephen. And so there had been three hundred miles of punishment.

    Summary

    Jack, who had been made anxious by Stephen's comment about his own nerves failing, grabbed him lightly by the shoulders, spun him round, and pressed him down to sit on the edge of his sea-chest. "You can sit there," he said, and grabbed his own pillow off his cot. He dropped it to the floor and then knelt on top of it. "And I'll sit here. And we'll go from there, yes?"

    "Yes," Stephen managed. "All right. Yes. How practical."

    --

    Stephen says three astounding things.
