Only"
Then in came Rose. She was wearing a beautiful white and golden yellow dress. She looked like a beautiful princess from the fairytales I would read about"Hello,Jack" Jack"Hello,again" I ran up to her"Rosie!" She picked me up and hugged me and kissed my forehead"Hi,Jackie.

Only if he takes care of me" I waved back to her as she puts me down and she waved to me as I went back to play with Cora.
Jack put Fabrizio and Helga in charge of watching me. Helga absolutely adores and loves me. My parents passed away when I was a baby.

This maiden voyage of Titanic must make headlines" Captain"Mr. Ismay,I would prefer not to push the engines until they've been properly run in" Ismay"Well,I am just a passenger. I leave it to your good offices to decide what's best. But what a glorious end to your final crossing. To arrive in New York on Tuesday night and surprise them all. Make the morning papers. Retire with a bang,eh,EJ?"

Jack did work on a squid boat in Monterey. Then we went to LA and the Santa Monica pier where he did portraits for 10 cents each. The others were gracious and curious about the man who had saved Rose's life,but her mother looked at him like an insect,a dangerous insect,which must be squashed quickly.
