"You'll allow, neighbor, that we were never nearer all going to destruction together than we were to-day." "There's some truth in that," answered Fabula. "But why should we try the experiment whether we could get drowned on St. Michael's day?" "H'm!" said Johann, and took a short pull at his brandy-flask. "What salary do you get, sir?" "Twenty kreutzers a day," answered the purifier.
Miles grinned from ear to ear. "Indeed you be," said he. Sarah Purfoy frowned, and then smiled. "Come here, Miles; I've got something for you." Miles came forward, grinning harder. The girl produced a small object from the pocket of her dress. If Mrs. Vickers had seen it she would probably have been angry, for it was nothing less than the captain's brandy-flask. "Drink," said she.
H., on whom, as an artist, and himself no mean musician, we had already devolved the task of being enthusiastic and demonstrative over matters of this kind, applauded vehemently, and cried, "Bravo!" and "Encore!" and ended in convincing us of the reality of his delight, by pressing his brandy-flask into the hands of the performer, and urging him to "drink it all, every drop, and then give us another!"
