It's desperate cold ice, the sealers all tell me, that of the antarctic seas. Some on 'em think it's colder down south than it is the other way, up towards Greenland and Iceland itself. It's extr'or'nary, Mary, that the weather should grow cold as a body journeys south; but so it is, by all accounts. I never could understand it, and it isn't so in Ameriky, I'm sartain.
Talk of the lobster blushing because it saw the salad dressing; but ought it not to make a member of the S.P.C.A. blush to eat lobster mayonnaise? We set the brown sails to lay the pots again further along the coast. It is a glorious day, the wavelets dancing on the surface of the long Atlantic swell that heaves ponderously; for, as Tim remarked, "the adjacent parish wesht is Ameriky."
So now she's in New York, an' Sisther Mary Mag Dillon is lukkin afther her, an' says she must be righted if the Pope himself has to do it. We all have pity an her, knowin' her people as we did. A smarter girl never opened a book in Ameriky. An' I'm her godmother." "Then we must do something for her," said the master kindly in compliment to Judy.

So to the sea I goes, and boy and man, I was on a many voyages to Turkey and Injy and the Cape and the West Coast and Ameriky, and all round the world forty times over. Many and many's the time I was shipwrecked and overboard, but I never got drowned.
"Your lovin' 'usband wot's in Ameriky a-making a snug little 'ome for you." Mavis was, for the moment, vanquished by the adroitness of Mrs Gowler's thrust. "I'm not well enough to quarrel. Please to show me my room." "That's better.
Ye see, darlin', I towld him ye wos buildin' a palace in the say, to put ships in afther they wos wrecked on the coast of Ameriky, so ye couldn't be expected to send home much money at prisint. An' he just said, 'Well, well, Kathleen, you may just kaip the cow, and pay me whin ye can'. So put that off yer mind, my swait Ned.
"Oh, by the way, what are 'ructions'?" inquired the guest of supercilious temperament. Washin'ton, D.C.?" "Certainly." "P'litical centre o' the United States of Ameriky?" "Why, yes." "An' you don't know what ructions be!" Loud laughter greeted this sally; only the man who had been in California sat moody, his basilisk eye fixed upon me.
'If a were as young as once a were nay, lad, if a had na these sore rheumatics, now a reckon as t' press-gang 'ud find out as t' shouldn't do such things for nothing. Bless thee, man! it's waur nor i' my youth i' th' Ameriky war, and then 't were bad enough.
He swallowed and his right eye began to take aim. I knew that some highly important theme would presently open the door of his intellect and come out. "'Jack, I been over to Albany, he said. 'Had a long visit with Mirandy. They ain't no likelier womern in Ameriky. I'll bet a pint o' powder an' a fish hook on that. Ye kin look fer 'em till yer eyes run but ye'll be obleeged to give up.
