Do not think, my beloved friend, although you have given me in yours of yesterday a severer instance of what, nevertheless, I must cal your impartial love, than ever yet I received from you, that I would be displeased with you for it.
"Cal could tell me nothing last night except that he had gotten wet and chilled and you had carried him on board against his protest. When the doctor put him to sleep with a lot of whiskey he was muttering incoherently about a quarrel he had with you. I thought you sent both tenders to the shore for mail and provisions. Why hasn't the cook returned?" "He may never come, Nan."
Once more the cup of hope was dashed from Edward's lips, and he found himself forced to enter into another weary conflict, this time with his English liegemen.

Let's forget everything and just be friends." "What! Again, Helena? Have I not tried that and found it a failure?" "You have no courage. You are no pirate. I challenge you to a test." "What is it, Helena?" "Let us go up-town and have a little supper at Luigi's, the way we used to, Harry, when we really were friends." "What, with Cal Davidson loose in the town and his boat lying here?"
Are you going to stand for his putting a price on every man he happens to dislike?" "But he says he don't know anything about it," the sheriff expostulated. "So how can I prove he does?
