The contemplative young man was a distant connection of the Teller, and his first name being Quincy, was commonly called Quee.
"So we-all goes weavin' over to the Red Light, Jack an' Pickles surveyin' each other close an' interested, that a-way, an' the rest of us on the quee vee, to go swarmin' out of range if they takes to shootin'.

He waded in and fastened a rope to the shark's tail, and then we all took hold and hauled the great fish ashore. "What is the good of it now you have got it?" asked Quee. "Glory is some good!" exclaimed Euphemia. "And I'm going to have you a belt made from a strip of its skin," I said. This seemed to Euphemia a capital idea.

'The baun's burstit wi' the rout mairch.
Every day the Paying Teller, his wife, and Quee carefully set down in their note-books the weight of fish each individual had caught, with all necessary details and specifications relating thereunto; every day we wandered on the beach, or explored the tropical recesses of the palmetto woods; every evening the boatman rowed over to the light-house to have a bit of gossip, and to take thither the fish we did not need; every day the sun was soft and warm, and the sky was blue; and every morning, going oceanward, and every evening, going landward, seven pelicans flew slowly by our camp.
