Oh, I kicked a paving-stone into the canal." "And don't you know there is heavy fine for that, you scoundrel? And pray where are the bread-bags?" "The bread-bags, sir? Oh, Mr Short took them to tie up some vegetables in them." "Mr Short! O, very well.
But we must return on board, where there was almost as much confusion as there had been on shore. The reappearance of Snarleyyow was considered supernatural, for Smallbones had distinctly told in what manner he had tied him up in the bread-bags, and thrown him into the canal. Whisperings and murmurings were heard all round the cutter's decks.
Two of the bars, slung in a rope's end, made a good load for a grown man one that he was glad to walk slowly with. For my part, as I was not much use at carrying, I was kept busy all day in the cave packing the minted money into bread-bags.
