I need hardly add that I never met the said "brother in Amerikey" of his; so, that it was of no use to me, as I told him although, it was a considerate action on Shuffler's part! Lady Dasher, also, did not forget me.
"I don't take you," said the cook. "How can a place be a sayin'?" "Well, it come through a chap about here named Captain Piggott," said the fisherman, speaking slowly. "He was a wonderful queer old chap, and he got out of his reckoning once, and made ah, South Amerikey, warn't it, Dan?" "I believe so," said the old man.
"For lovin' liberty?" the woman sighed, looking at the ball, which had galled her ankle bloody. "They hated free niggers as if they was all Tories an' didn't love Amerikey. So, seein' the free niggers hadn't no friends, these Johnsons an' Patty Cannon begun to steal 'em, by smoke!
But, by smoke! we're a-makin' iron now in Amerikey! Kittles is cheap, and that's why this crane is left by robbers an' gypsies after they used it." He twisted the crane out of the bricks on which it was hinged, and some of the mantel jamb fell down. "Hallo!" cried Jimmy, "what's this a rollin' yer? A shillin', by George! I say, by George, this time caze ole George the Third's picter's on it.
"You ain't a goin' to Amerikey, sir, is you?" he asked me just before my departure, meeting me in the street. "Yes, I am, Shuffler," I replied, "and pretty soon, too!" "Lor! Mister Lorton; but I'm right loth to 'ear it! I've got a brother myself over in Amerikey; s'pose now, sir, I was to give you a letter to 'im? It might, you know, some'ow or hother, be o' service, hay?"
The black people wanted to go to 'em. The British filled the islands in Tangier yer with nigger camps; they was a goin' to take this whole peninsuly, an' collect an' drill a nigger army on it to put down Amerikey. When the war was done, the British sailed away from Chesapeake Bay with thousands of them colored folks, an' then the people yer begun to hate the free niggers."
