They did not then look with much favor on the handsome Prussian Prince at her side and one loyal Briton shouted out, "If he doesn't treat you well, come back to us!" That made her laugh.

The citizens, noticing the approach of an English war vessel, began to congregate in a large body on the north side of the village, and their demonstrations were decidedly hostile to the landing of the Briton. Suddenly Captain Lane appeared among them, waving his staff and shouting.
I grieve to say I laughed, because when an American wishes to be correct he sets himself to imitate the Englishman. This he does vilely, and earns not only the contempt of his brethren, but the amused scorn of the Briton. I saw one man who was pointed out to me as being the glass of fashion hereabouts.

"Odd's flesh!" cried the Briton, "when I'm at home, I defy all the devils in hell to fasten my eyelids together, if so be as I'm otherwise inclined.

"Hurrah! hold on, Fred, no, no, no! ease off he'll break all away." The caution was just in time. Fred was holding on like a true Briton. He suddenly let the rod down and allowed the line to run out, which it did like lightning. "What now, father? Oh! do take it I shall certainly lose the fish." "No, no, boy; it is your fish; try to play it out."
