'Arsk me sum'thin' easier, carn't you? I don't know nothin' about the cove, I don't; he comes 'ere two, three weeks ago, and leaves owin' me money. Where he comes from, or who he is, or what he's bin doin' to get shot I know no more nor you do. All I does know, finished Mosk, emphatically, 'is as I've lost two bloomin' quid, an' that's a lot to a poor man like me.
At Leonard's impatient gesture he added hastily, "Not that Hi believe in such things, sor, but Hi carn't 'elp but notice that hever'body on th' dock is alive, an' hever'body on th' other two wessels is dead an' gone, sor." Madden turned sharply on his heel. "Anybody who knows anything about marine engines, follow me," he snapped. "We must study out a way to start the Vulcan's machinery.
"That wheel, there, is lashed over; they've paid out the mains'l enough to starboard, and set the jib properly to port. That's why the fores'l isn't up!" "What of it?" "Why, sir, she'll sail that way all day in a wind like this, and nobody have to touch her! They knew we'd be popping at their helmsman, and they fixed it so we carn't! Now it's our turn to start something!"
As we stepped out on deck, I heard the Second Mate shouting out, away aft, to know the whereabouts of the light. "By Jove! Stubbins," I said. "I believe the blessed thing's gone again." We ran to the starboard side, in a body, and looked over; but there was no sign of a light in the darkness astern. "I carn't say as I see any light," said Quoin. Plummer said nothing.
'Arter 'earing 'im say that, went on Elizabeth, 'I didn't like to let 'im see I'd been in the room all the time, an' I was just goin' to creep out quiet when 'e starts talkin' to the photo again. "Marryun," 'e ses, "if I carn't 'ave you I'll go away in the wilderness, or be an 'ermit in a cave, or go an' live in Tibbet, or give away every farthin' I've got in the world."
I'm thinking about gittin' a billet up-country, myself, soon. Where's he goin' ter be buried?" "At Rookwood, to-morrow." "I carn't come. I've got ter work. Is the Guvmint goin' to bury him?" "Yes." Bill looked at the body with increased respect. "Kin I do anythin' for you? Now, don't be frightened to arsk!" "No. Thank you very much, all the same."
Most of the preachers who came "reviving," as it was called, through that district, had those eyes. Some of them needed "reviving" themselves, in quite another sense, before they got clear out of it. I am speaking now of more than thirty years ago. "Ah! so us have so us have," came the response. "And you carn't get rid of him," continued the speaker.
The experts chuckled, and he ruffled about the ring, truculent, sneering, pausing before Varian, with a glance at Sanford. "Give me something with some balance. Hi can show yer. Look!" "I'm looking," said the foreman; "an' I ain't deaf, neither." "'Ere's wot you blighters carn't 'eave. Learned it in Auckland, where there's real men."
The noise he heard was the swift displacement of water. For some unaccountable reason, the vessel glided southward at a speed of eight or ten knots. In the uproar forward, Madden heard the cries: "Th' dinghy's swamped!" "We carn't reach 'er!" "Cut 'er loose and jump!" "We couldn't right 'er in th' water!" "Cut 'er and jump! Quick! 'Eaven knows w'ot's got us!" "Steady!
The Frenchman did not hear or did not understand the first part of the speech, but he caught the words "Charing Cross," and bounced up and out on to the step. The conductor collared him as he was getting off, and jerked him back savagely. "Carn't yer keep still a minute," he cried indignantly; "blessed if you don't want lookin' after like a bloomin' kid."
