He was a noble dog a cross between the old Scottish deerhound and the bloodhound, and would hunt an Indian as well as a deer or bear, which, Tom said, "was a proof they Injins was a sort o' warmint, or why should the brute beast take to hunt 'em, nat'ral like him that took no notice of white men?"
"Yes, to be sure; I ain't lived all these years without knowing your lingo." "Then go at once; and don't let the honour of Admiral Bell and old England suffer, Jack. I'm his man, you know, at any price." "Never fear," said Jack; "you shall fight him, at any rate. I'll go and see he don't back out, the warmint."
"Why, there ain't a better, quicker, neater dawg in all London after the rats than Warmint. He holds the record south the Thames." "Is there a record then for rat killing? How is it done?" "Turn a sack o' long tails on to the floor and let the dawg among them. He works against time, of course." "Have the rats any chance of getting away?" "No fear."
'F-o-o-o-r-r-a-r-d! f-o-o-o-r-r-a-r-d! f-o-o-o-r-r-a-r-d! elongated Watchorn, rising in his stirrups, and looking back with a grin at George Cheek, who was plying his weed with the whip, exclaiming, 'Ah, you confounded young warmint, I'll give you a warmin'! I'll teach you to jaw about 'untin'!
They were going to get the doctor to find the stuff to send all the lads to sleep, and then they were going to open the hatch and shove Jarette by himself, and the others some in the cable-tier and some in the hold." "Yes, yes!" cried the cook, eagerly, while I listened hard. "Well then, that warmint yonder said it ought to be put in the soup, and so they settled it.
"Have you never an out-o-the-vay corner, into vich you could shtow these troublesome warmint?" observed Abraham. "The guv'ner'll be here afore midnight." Darrell's attention was drawn to the latter part of this speech by a slight pressure on his foot. And, turning at the touch, he perceived Sheppard's glance fixed meaningly upon him.
William Sikes. At his feet, sat a white-coated, red-eyed dog; who occupied himself, alternately, in winking at his master with both eyes at the same time; and in licking a large, fresh cut on one side of his mouth, which appeared to be the result of some recent conflict. 'Keep quiet, you warmint! Keep quiet! said Mr. Sikes, suddenly breaking silence.
He put a foot up to the bars, to dry and warm it, and the wet boot began to steam; but, he neither looked at it, nor at the fire, but steadily looked at me. It was only now that I began to tremble. "Might a mere warmint ask what property?" said he. I faltered, "I don't know." "Might a mere warmint ask whose property?" said he. I faltered again, "I don't know."
The British consul would send off to the Teaser, the skipper would land a lot on us Jacks and jollies; we should give these warmint a good sharp dressing-down; and they'd know as we wouldn't stand any of their nonsense, and leave off chucking stones and mud at us. Now, what had we done that we couldn't be 'lowed to lie alongside o' the wharf yonder? We didn't say nothing to them.
