After dinner , nature avenged herself in the young men for their vigils of the night before , when they had stayed up so late , parting with friends , that they had found themselves early risers without having been abed . They both slept so long that Dunham , leaving Staniford to a still unfinished nap , came on deck between five and six o'clock . Lydia was there , wrapped against the freshening breeze in a red knit shawl , and seated on a stool in the waist of the ship , in the Evangeline attitude , and with the wistful , Evangeline look in her face , as she gazed out over the far-weltering sea-line , from which all trace of the shore had vanished . She seemed to the young man very interesting , and he approached her with that kindness for all other women in his heart which the lover feels in absence from his beloved , and with a formless sense that some retribution was due her from him for the roughness with which Staniford had surmised her natural history . Women had always been dear and sacred to him ; he liked , beyond most young men , to be with them ; he was forever calling upon them , getting introduced to them , waiting upon them , inventing little services for them , corresponding with them , and wearing himself out in their interest .
