"With regard to the first mortgage?" asked Mr. Begg. "Certainly." "And what about the new arrangement?" asked the earl nervously. "Impossible, I regret to say."

Such fish we counted, hundreds of them, at the windows of the second cavern we entered; and, drawing back from it affrighted, we went on like men who fear to speak of that which they have seen. "A madman's house; it could not be anything else," says Captain Nepeen, as pale as any ghost; "unless I had seen it with my own eyes, Mr. Begg, no story that ever was written would make me believe it.
Good men were perishing on Ken's Island, and every instinct said, "You, Jasper Begg, and you, James Nepeen, hold out a hand to them." "Do you see anything, captain?" I asked my companion again and again; "we should be near them now. Do you hear any sound?" He answered me, gasping for his breath: "Not a whisper."

I trust you, Jasper Begg, she said; 'you will sail for Ken's Archipelago twelve months from today, and you will come to my house there, as you used to do in the old time, for orders. Perhaps I shall send you home again, perhaps I may like to have a yacht of my own once more. Who knows? I am quite alone in the world, she said, laughing, 'though my brother is alive.
For three years young Edward lived under this intolerable tyranny, till he could stand it no longer. At last, Begg beat and ill-treated him so terribly that Tam refused outright to complete his apprenticeship.
