I responded that I named myself Antonio, and that I sought to save myself from the Portuguese conscription. "Ho!" said Mr. Pyecroft, and the fashion of his countenance changed. Then pensively: "Ther beggar! What might you have in your hand there?" "It's the story of Antonio a stowaway in the Archimandrite's cutter. A French spy when he's at home, I fancy. What do you know about it?"
Pyecroft behind us, "I don't mind rammin' a bathin'-machine; but if only one of them week-end Weymouth blighters has thrown his empty baccy-tin into the sea here, we'll rip our plates open on it; 267 isn't the Archimandrite's old cutter."

"There is a governor's rank, and an archimandrite's rank, and an officer's rank, and a doctor's rank, and every profession has its own rank. You don't keep to yours and they won't allow it." The slaughter-house stood behind the cemetery, and till then I had only seen it at a distance.
