Via COHA:
No one looking like either was to be seen, and Tom’s mind at once went
back to the vacant seats at the table. “By Jove, Ned!” he exclaimed. “I
believe I have it!”
“Have what–a fit of seasickness?”
“No, but these empty seats–the persons we saw you know–they belong there
and they’re afraid to come out and be seen.”
“Why should they be–if they’re not the Fogers. I guess you’ve got
*another think* coming.”
