Paul and Florence Dombey.
 Paul's favorite spot was quite a lonely one, far away from most loungers; and with Florence sitting at his side at work or reading to him, or talking to him, and the wind blowing on his face, and the water coming up among the wheels of his bed, he wanted nothing more.
  * * * Another time, in the same place, he fell asleep. * * * Awaking suddenly, he listened, started up and sat listening.
  Florence asked him what he thought he heard.
  "I want to know what it says," he answered, looking steadily in her face. "The sea, Floy, what is it that it keeps on saying?"
  She told him that it was only the noise of the rolling waves.
  "Yes! yes!" he said. "But I know that they are always saying something. Always the same thing! What place is over there?" He rose up, looking eagerly at the horizon.
  She told him that there was another country opposite, but he said he didn't mean that; he meant farther away—farther away.
