"But we wouldn't let him, mister pirate," said Dick Price, who, now that his difficult duties were over, was preparing to solace himself with a pipe; an example that was immediately followed by Bumpus, who backed his friend by adding "No more we would."

The Judge got to his feet and approached the two men. "Hollis," he said, "shake hands with Mr. Allen, of Lazette." Allen's hand came out quickly and was grasped by Hollis's, both grips being hearty and warm. "My name's Ben Allen," explained the stranger with a smile. "Tacking on a handle like 'Mister' would sure make me feel like a stranger to myself."
Joe always insisted "it was pure native goodness." Then they called out to the carters and other wagoners: "Oh, mister, say! Your wheel's goin' round!" And sometimes without understanding the driver would look and hear the shout. They had another trick they played out in the Bowery.
"We are four hours late, mister." "I know we are," cried Smith. "Confound you, Roddy, you're always telling me I'm late. If you say anything like that again I'll throw you out." Rodier grinned.
