Tell the truth and shame the devil. We have drunk confusion to the Pope in many a cup of sack, and in good company too with Franky Drake and Jack Hawkins, Jacob Whiddon, and a host of bonny sailor-men. No, brother, we do not believe in the Pope, although there are some honest fellows and many rogues who do. We must stand by the words passed to old comrades."
I hate him, and feel as if I should like to go and hit him across the face with my glove." "What for? Oh, I say, Drew, what a hot-headed fellow you are." "It isn't my head, Franky; it's my heart. It seems to burn when I see these insolent Dutch officers lording it here, and smiling in their half-contemptuous, half-insulting way at our English ladies. Ugh! I wonder your father doesn't stop it.
"Come away!" cried Frank angrily, and with singular haste. "Don't stop there staring at the windows; it looks so absurd." Andrew made no reply then, but walked sharply off with his companion till they were some hundred yards away. "Don't be cross with me, Franky," he said gently.

Emily had followed Deleah into the shop. "He'd no pistol," she put in confidently. "He'd never find it. I'd never liked the nasty dang'rous thing, with Franky into every mischief, and I hid it up on the top of the wardrobe.

"She thinks a lot more of him than he does of her," Franky announced, munching his bread-and-butter. Bessie got up from her place at the tea-tray and with purpose in her eyes walked round the table.
Franky's common little school had attended, and stood, marshalled by the meagre young master in charge, at a distance, but the small son of the once despised cutler had advanced, pushed forwards encouragingly by his comrades, and dropped upon the coffin a bunch of flowers gathered from the garden on the road, where Franky and he had loved to play. No other flowers were there.
"Nobody doubts you," said Frank; "but why did you call him a fool?" "Oh! for saying that Harry couldn't escape.
