It may have been a flash of honesty in him; or mere prudential policy which, under the circumstance, imperiously forbade the slightest symptom of open disaffection, however transient, in the important chief officer of his ship. However it was, his orders were executed; and the Burtons were hoisted. Queequeg in His Coffin
She receives him with every symptom of disgust and abhorrence; but he, regardless of all spitting, and tail swelling, rolls her over, spurring and swearing, and makes believe he will worry her to death.

I mention this more particularly as it was the first healthy symptom of amendment I had discovered, and one to which I long and tenaciously adhered as far, at least, as my habits and pursuits in life would allow me.
