"Moderately," the barber assented. "I'll put it t'other way about an' make it still clearer.
"Who be I?" returned the man-shaped monster in a hoarse, sea-like voice. "Ho, ho, ho, now I calls that a good un! Why, little Martin, that I've knowed all along, I be Bill. Leastways, that's what they called me afore: but I got promotion, and in consekence I'm called the Old Man of the Sea." "And how did you know I was Martin?" "How did I know as you was Martin?

You know, as well as I do, that he wos called Redhand by the Injuns in consekence o' the lot o' grislies he's killed in his day; but nobody never could git at his real name. P'r'aps it's not worth gittin' at. Now, them four 'll be startin' in a week or two for the mountains, an' wot's to hinder us a-jinin' of them?"

"One more question, miss, which may or may not be of some consekence. Haven't you no idee about what time it was when you was waked up by this noise of somethin' fallin'?" "No, sir; not the least. It might have been about midnight, I should guess." "Think a minute, miss, if you didn't hear any sound outside that could give you some idee of the time."

My father, who was supposed to be a wharfinger, was too fond of the drink ever to be able to hold a job, the consekence bein' that my poor mother had to keep things goin' by takin' in washin'; and, since there was seven of us young 'uns, it took her all her time to find us in grub and clo'es.
