But I'm better now, dear lad; I'm better now. Oh, oh, I say, Master Scar, lad, hit me in both eyes hard. I'm so weak I'm going to blubber like a gal." "No, no, my dear old Nat," whispered Scarlett. "Keep up, man, keep up. I want you to help me." "Help you, Master Scarlett? Why, I don't believe I could even pull my sword out of its sheath!" "But you will soon, Nat," whispered Scarlett, eagerly.
I will give him a hanger all of bronze, with a silver hilt thereto, and a sheath of fresh-sawn ivory covers it about, and it shall be to him a thing of price.
