that Kit was homeward bound�察�all the white sails a´blowing out 
towards England�察�and my Kit's face turned this way�拭 。�SHE BEGINS
TO DUST。��  Sure�察�if my mother were here�察�she would understand and
help us�察�she would understand a young maid's heart�察�though her
own had never an ache�察�and she would love my Kit。  ��PUTTING BACK
THE TELESCOPE。��  To think she died�此 �husband and child ´ and so
much love ´ she was taken from them all。  Ah�察�there is no parting
but the grave�  �And Kit and I both live�察�and both love each
other�察�and here am I cast down�拭 �O�察�Arethusa�察�shame�  �And your

ARETHUSA。  You shall not ask bread and be denied by a sailor's 
daughter and a sailor's sweetheart�察�and when my father returns he
