As the lower portions of these pantaloons became revealed, Bunsby stood confessed; his hands in their pockets, which were of vast size; and his gaze directed, not to Captain Cuttle or the ladies, but the mast-head.
Shakspere has said some nice things about fear "Of all the wonders, ... it seems to me most strange that men should fear" but he never knew anything about squirming rattlesnakes. The Cuttle Fish ranch is five miles from Markham.
So they got back to the coach, long before the coachman expected them; and Walter, putting Susan and Mrs Richards inside, took his seat on the box himself that there might be no more mistakes, and deposited them safely in the hall of Mr Dombey's house where, by the bye, he saw a mighty nosegay lying, which reminded him of the one Captain Cuttle had purchased in his company that morning.
'Never owed her a penny, Wal'r, said Captain Cuttle, in a low voice, and with visible marks of trepidation on his countenance. 'Done her a world of good turns, and the children too. Vixen at times, though. Whew! 'I should go away, Captain Cuttle, said Walter. 'Dursn't do it, Wal'r, returned the Captain. 'She'd find me out, wherever I went. Sit down. How's Gills?
'It's Heart's Delight! said the Captain, looking intently in her face. 'It's the sweet creetur grow'd a woman!

I wish I could get back to the sixteenth and seventeenth century. . . . But alas! the events of the nineteenth are too engrossing. If Lowell cares to read this letter, will you allow me to "make it over to him jointly," as Captain Cuttle says. I wished to write to him, but I am afraid only you would tolerate my writing so much when I have nothing to say.
No child could have surpassed Captain Cuttle in inexperience of everything but wind and weather; in simplicity, credulity, and generous trustfulness. Faith, hope, and charity, shared his whole nature among them.

There ain't a man that walks certainly not on two legs that can come near him. Not near him!
Grizel's arms rocked with delight in the dark, and she was on her way to the Cuttle Well, the trysting-place, before she came to and saw with consternation that Tommy had been ordering her about. She was quite a sedate young lady by the time she joined them at the well, and Tommy was the first to feel the change.
