Up to a certain point the voyage was like all other voyages. During the first two days there were passengers who did not appear on deck, but as the weather was fair for the season of the year, there were fewer absentees than is usual. Indeed, on the third day the deck chairs were all filled, people who were given to tramping during their voyages had begun to walk their customary quota1 of carefully-measured miles the day. There were a few pale faces dozing3 here and there, but the general aspect of things had begun to be sprightly4. Shuffleboard players and quoit enthusiasts5 began to bestir themselves, the deck steward6 appeared regularly with light repasts of beef tea and biscuits, and the brilliant hues7 of red, blue, or yellow novels made frequent spots of colour upon the promenade8. Persons of some initiative went to the length of making tentative observations to their next-chair neighbours. The second-cabin passengers were cheerful, and the steerage passengers, having tumbled up, formed friendly groups and began to joke with each other.
The Worthingtons had plainly the good fortune to be respectable sailors. They reappeared on the second day and established regular habits, after the manner of accustomed travellers. Miss Vanderpoel's habits were regular from the first, and when Salter saw her he was impressed even more at the outset with her air of being at home instead of on board ship. Her practically well-chosen corner was an agreeable place to look at. Her chair was built for ease of angle and width, her cushions were of dark rich colours, her travelling rugs were of black fox fur, and she owned an adjustable9 table for books and accompaniments. She appeared early in the morning and walked until the sea air crimsoned
