"Nicholas chose for an unknown reason to make his home on land, living in a driftwood hut. To his neighbors he seemed unremarkable…to Margaret he was a marvel beyond all others."
"...The boats pitched and rolled as Margaret tied her craft behind and climbed into her father's boat. Each took an oar and rowed desperately. From the gathering dark and churning waves came screeches and the murmur of voices speaking a strange language. 'We are doomed!' groaned Marius. 'Those are the sea folk.'"
"Margaret's heart flooded with joy. 'Why, Nicholas Pipe,' she said gently, 'you sound very much like a man in love.'
'Yes,' he said miserably."
"Our children will be children of land and sea, and Oh! What marvels they will be."
