These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Master of Craft: 'I'm not sure he didn't go on that little ship, ' said the lady; 'but if he has, I suppose I can wait here till he comes off. ...If I married Miss Tipping-that's the Blue Posts girl-he'd leave his money away from me; and if I marry Elizabeth, Miss Tipping'll have me up for breach of promise-if she finds me.' ...'I've brought him with me, so that he'll be company for Emma Wheeler, ' said the skipper, as Fraser shook hands with her, 'and you must look sharp if you want to get good seats. ...A suggestion from Flower that he should close up and take off Miss Wheeler, seemed to him to border upon audacity, but he meekly followed Flower as that bold mariner ranged himself alongside the girls, and taking two steps on the curb and three in the gutter, walked along for some time trying to think of something to say. ...But, besides that, it's for the young lady's sake: it's easy to see that she's as fond of him as she can be, and she's that sort o' young lady that if she come up now and told me to jump overboard, I'd do it.'
