    Excerpt: Tharkay, left to his own devices, would have been happy enough to sit in silence and allow Laurence all the time in the world to stare broodingly out at the sea. So long as he was merely contemplating the water, and not throwing himself headfirst into it, Tharkay thought it unlikely any harm should come of it. However, Captain Riley had left strict instructions in the event of Laurence's falling into one of his sulks, or whatever the term was for an honorably moody temper, and Tharkay, conceding the greater acquaintance with Laurence's disposition to Riley, felt obliged to obey. And so, "Laurence," he said, "perhaps Temeraire would care for a brief flight? He seems a trifle out-of-sorts today, and the weather is unusually fine."
