And then, mebbe, she brings ye in some doughnuts she's just cooked for ye cooked ez only SHE kin cook 'em!
So I says, says I, I'll jes' run over to the station an' see what's doin' there, more by token, as it was near time for the express, an' it kind of livens ye up a bit to see them express-trains come in, they're nice an' bustlin' like, with a sort of go in 'em; an' after she come in, there was a freight-train come, an' there was lots of freight put off, an' guess what I see, Jim, among it."
'You've seen your sweetheart? says he. 'Yes, I've seen her, says I. 'Well, we'll have a quart now, and you'll do your best to forget her, says he, bein' one o' them smart, bustlin' chaps.

"You have no fears of the man who calls himself Jack Tier, Capt. Spike?" "None in the world. That feller, as I remember him, was a little bustlin' chap that I kept in the cabin, as a sort of steward's mate. There was neither good nor harm in him, to the best of my recollection.
