Humming a tune, Joseph ascended to the sitting-room on the first floor, and threw himself on a seat.

To appeal to the higher authorities would be committing himself, for he knew that he could not flog a man who no longer belonged to the vessel. "I wants my husband," repeated Moggy, putting her arms a-kimbo. Mr Vanslyperken made no reply. The corporal waited for orders, and Moggy waited for her husband.
An Hotspur, who just then made his appearance, was now strutting boldly towards her; but the devil, rushing furiously forwards, placed himself immediately between them.

The victorious devil ostentatiously waved his wand, and returned to his station.
He sat with one arm a-kimbo, the other elbow on a table, the hand holding on to the small pipe he was pettishly puffing; his legs crossed, drumming with one foot on the ground and casting every now and then the side glance of a basilisk at the prosing captain.
