The sky was of a beautiful\u003cbr\u003etranslucent blue; the sunshine had a silvery rather than a golden\u003cbr\u003eradiance. A sea-wind blew up the Western Passage, so cool as to make the\u003cbr\u003epassengers on the upper deck glad to draw their wraps about them. The\u003cbr\u003elow line of the mainland beyond Conanicut and down to Beaver Tail\u003cbr\u003eglittered with a sort of clear-cut radiance, and seemed lifted a little\u003cbr\u003eabove the water. Candace Arden heard the Captain say that he judged,\u003cbr\u003efrom the look of things, that there was going to be a change of weather\u003cbr\u003ebefore long.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaptain Peleg King was a great favorite on his line of travel. He had a\u003cbr\u003epleasant, shrewd face, grizzled hair, a spare, active figure; and he\u003cbr\u003eseemed to notice every one of his passengers and to take an interest in\u003cbr\u003ethem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Going down to Newport, Miss?\" he said to Candace, after giving her one\u003cbr\u003eor two quick looks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe question was superfluous, for the \"Eolus\" went nowhere else except\u003cbr\u003eto Newport; but it was well-meant, for the Captain thought that Candace\u003cbr\u003eseemed lonely and ill at ease, and he wished to cheer her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, sir,\" she answered, shyly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Your folks there for the summer?\" he went on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"No, sir; I'm going to stay with my cousin Mrs. Gray.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Mrs. Courtenay Gray you mean, I guess. Well, it's queer, but I sort er\u003cbr\u003ethought that you favored her a little. She's down early this year. I\u003cbr\u003efetched her and the family across on my evening trip more'n two weeks\u003cbr\u003eago. Mrs. Gray's a mighty nice lady; I'm always pleased when she comes\u003cbr\u003eaboard. Wouldn't you like to take a seat in the wheel-house, Miss? The\u003cbr\u003ewind's blowing pretty fresh.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172126736624,"sku":"2940013537248","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013537248_p0.jpg?v=1763582679","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013537248","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
