About this book
Watch and Wait, or The Young Fugitives, is by Oliver Optic. Lily, a lady's-maid, is a slave, and the text says Miss Edith was sour and petulant and Lily's daily life was not a bed of roses. Dandy is named as the one friend Lily had in the wide world, and the richest treasures of his friendship were bestowed upon the fair and gentle Lily.
A speaker shouts "Stop your boat, or we'll fire into you again", and Dan answers "If you do you will get as good as you send". Dan takes deliberate aim at the boat and fires, ordering Quin to do the same, and the text says no one in the Isabel was hit. Cyd maintains his position at the helm with the steadiness of an old salt who had stood at the wheel in a hundred battles.
