He got it for his smartness. When blacks are introduced to the ways of white men, singular, often grotesque episodes occur. A big, shy, clumsy fellow endeavouring to put on a shirt as a pair of "combinations" does cut an absurd figure, and the first efforts of many meddling and unskilled cooks to make a "damper" are often pathetic failures.

"You may have mine, right off the reel, Mr. Fraser, or whatever you call yourself.

RAZLYULYÁYEV. What are you meddling with me for? What's the use? I want to marry her, and I'm going to make proposals. What are you up to! Yes, I mean to marry her! MÍTYA. We'll see about that. RAZLYULYÁYEV. Do you think they'll marry her to you? Not much! Not if I know it I've got lots of money! ARÍNA. What a racket! Stop! They are knocking. PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Go and open the door.

Cooke, our old acquaintance at my Lord Sandwich's, come to see and dine with me, but I quite out of humour, having many other and better things to thinke of. Thence to the office to settle my people's worke and then home to my publique accounts of Tangier, which it is strange by meddling with evening reckonings with Mr.
