But to the two Wallis boys--who were born in that\u003cbr\u003ehouse--the noise of the beating surf, the hoarse shrieking notes of the\u003cbr\u003emyriad sea-birds, and the sough of the trade wind through the timbered\u003cbr\u003eslopes, were voices that they knew and understood, and were in a manner\u003cbr\u003epart and parcel of their own adventurous natures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet me try and attempt to draw, however rudely, an outline of a picture\u003cbr\u003eof their home, and of the sight that every morning the two lads saw from\u003cbr\u003etheir bedroom window, before they clattered downstairs into the\u003cbr\u003elow-ceiled old-time dining-room, to each eat a breakfast that would have\u003cbr\u003edone credit to a hungry bullock-driver.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166866030832,"sku":"2940015547610","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015547610","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
