But he took a drop from her flask， and though he said it was beastly stuff （the smell in the cabin when she opened it was delicious） it is certain that his face came the right colour a few moments after he had swallowed it， and he must have felt better because， instead of wailing about the storm and his head， he began demanding to be put ashore and said that at the first port he would “lodge a disposition” against them all with the British Consul. But when Reepicheep asked what a disposition was and how you lodged it （Reepicheep thought it was some new way of arranging a single combat） Eustace could only reply， “Fancy not knowing that.” In thend they succeeded in convincing Eustace that they were ready sailing as fast as they could towards the nearest land hey knew， and that they had no more power of sending im back to Cambridge.which was where Uncle Harold ved.than of sending him to the moon. After that he ulkily agreed to put on the fresh clothes which had been ut out for him and come on deck.
