"Very well, we'll look in," replied the captain as he quitted the house of the worthy pastor.
If it's any other business, get it out of you, and then go off and take a swim with your old web-foot there!" Mr. Gammon concealed any emotion that the slur provoked. He came along to the table and tucked a paper under the Cap'n's nose. "There's what Squire Alcander Reeves wrote off for me, and told me to hand it to you. He said it would show you your duty."
