 12    1,    3|             During the recital, Robert Grant was devouring the speaker
 13    1,    3|              close to his sister.~Miss Grant sat silent and motionless,

 24    1,    4|               alone in the world.~Mary Grant was then only fourteen,

 47    1,    9|                this search for Captain Grant, each day seemed to increase
 48    1,    9|                except himself and Mary Grant.~As for the learned geographer,

 57    1,   13|                one—that one was Robert Grant.~
 58    1,   14|               I insist upon it. Heaven grant Robert may be still alive!

 61    1,   14|                lifeless— it was Robert Grant. The bird had seized him
 62    1,   15|             The deliverance of Captain Grant seemed an accomplished fact.~

 65    1,   16|             evidently pointed to Harry Grant.~
 66    1,   20|                 he had no doubt, Harry Grant and his men were prisoners.~

 70    1,   21|           following the track of Harry Grant, we have fallen on that
 71    1,   21|               of coming across Captain Grant between the Sierra Tandil

 99    2,    1|               pointed out that Captain Grant, on leaving the coast of

105    2,    2|               at once respecting Harry Grant and the BRITANNIA, and found

129    2,    7|      declaration may be imagined. Mary Grant fell back, half-fainting,

137    2,    7|               and when he stopped Mary Grant said, in her soft voice: “

148    2,    8|         starting.~Lady Helena and Mary Grant soon made their preparations.

150    2,   12|                 Poor child!” said Mary Grant. “Is he lost, I wonder,
151    2,   12|               and mother?” said Robert Grant.~“Yes, my brother,” replied
152    2,   12|         holding out his hand to little Grant. Robert was so touched by
153    2,   12|               it. Lady Helena and Mary Grant withdrew to the wagon, and
