"Ain't you comin' to the ghost, Jack?" said the little man hungrily. "All in course, sir. Well, gentlemen, it was hard times pretty often with my grandfather and his friends, as you may suppose; and never so much as when they had to trudge it across country, with the nor'-easter buzzin' in their teeth and the snow piled on their cockt hats like lemon sponge on entry dishes.
You failed to carry out your orders, and you had a dozen against three, and one of the three a negro." The man started away, but his lagging footsteps showed that he had something on his mind, and in a few moments I heard him coming back.

Dinner was waiting him, and he had no time to speak until he had stabled the horses and washed himself. "Say, John," he began as soon as he had taken his seat at the table, "what were ye up to last night?" "So you have been hearing something, have you?" Douglas enquired. "Sure I have. Why, the hull place is buzzin' with the news, an' Si's as mad as blazes.
Thou'lt never be good for naught i' th' world, and as long as thou lives thou'll never play the big fiddle. Get away, lad, get away!" So he shut the door softly i' my face. 'Nobody never made Jesse my master, but it seemed to me he was about right, and I went away into the town and knocked up against a recruiting sergeant. The old tales o' th' chapel folk came buzzin' into my head.
"'Yes, yuh is, said the snake, 'I can't do nothin' fur yo' buzzin'. "Then the bummelybee flown off, but he didn't go very fur, he wanted to see what the snake was up to. He kinder suspicioned it wasn't up to no good, so he jess watched the snake, and bimeby he seen the bluebird come up as peart as anythin', and he set down on the limb of a tree."
As for Captain Scraggs, every drop of blood in his body was boiling in defense of the ship he loved. "You're a pirate," he shrilled. "And you're just as big a hornet as you ever was," replied Mr. Gibney. "Always buzzin' around where you ain't wanted. But still, what's the use of bawlin' over spilt milk?
See the face of her, with the little snappin' eyes an' the yellow beak of a nose, an' the sunset in her cheeks that's put on wid a painter's brush! Look at her trippin' about! Floatin' shure, that's what she's doin'! If you listened hard, you'd hear her buzzin'. It's the truth I tell ye. D'ye follow me?"
One is one of them he schoolma'ms that goes around in a boiled shirt and a hard-boiled hat, buzzin' like a mosquito. He's sweet on the old maid. It's the other one I'm leery of. He's the brother of the old maid, and he's the kind that don't say much but does a lot uh thinkin'. Big, too. "They've took up a bunch of minin' claims around there and are livin' in that cabin.
Stick to the ship, Miss Sally; give a heave at the windlass now'n then, an' don't let nary one o' them fellers that comes a buzzin' round you the hull time turn his back on Yankee Doodle; an' you won't never hanker to be a man, ef 'tis war-time!" Sally's eyes burned bluer than before. "Thank you kindly, Mister Snapps. I'm obleeged to you for putting the good thought into my head.
The whole bally place will be buzzin' like a nest of wasps till they find out wot the shots meant." "I think it is a good suggestion," came the calm answer, "provided, that is, the launch is in the harbor." "She's just as likely to be there now as later. If she isn't, we must hark back to the first plan. Now, you swabs, all aboard! See to them buckles afore you quit."
