It half\u003cbr\u003eenveloped the two great ocean liners that lay tugging at their\u003cbr\u003emoorings in the bay, and settled over the wharf with a grim\u003cbr\u003edetermination to check, as far as possible, the traffic of the\u003cbr\u003emorning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the activity of the wharf, while impeded, was in no wise stopped.\u003cbr\u003eThe bustle, rattle, and shouting were, in fact, augmented by the\u003cbr\u003etemporary interference. Everybody seemed in a hurry, and everybody\u003cbr\u003eseemed out of temper, save a boy who lay at full length on the quay\u003cbr\u003eand earnestly studied a weather-vane that was lazily trying to make\u003cbr\u003eup its mind which way to point.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe was ragged and brawny and picturesque. His hands, bronzed by the\u003cbr\u003etan of sixteen summers, were clasped under his head, and his legs were\u003cbr\u003ecrossed, one soleless shoe on high vaunting its nakedness in the face\u003cbr\u003eof an indifferent world. A sailor's blouse, two sizes too large, was\u003cbr\u003eheld together at the neck by a bit of red cambric, and his trousers\u003cbr\u003ewere anchored to their mooring by a heavy piece of yellow twine. The\u003cbr\u003eindolence of his position, however, was not indicative of the state of\u003cbr\u003ehis mind; for under his weather-beaten old cap, perched sidewise on a\u003cbr\u003etousled head, was a commotion of dreams and schemes, ambitions and\u003cbr\u003eplans, whose activities would have put to shame the busiest wharf in\u003cbr\u003ethe world.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079440482544,"sku":"2940013407633","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013407633_p0.jpg?v=1763580502","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013407633","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
