"My crickey!" ejaculated the American, emitting a shrill whistle of astonishment at the naive assertion. "Then what, in the name of George Washington and Abe Lincoln rolled into one, air you, sir-ree!" "I'se a 'spectable collud genlemun," replied the darkey pompously. "I guess you'll do," said Mr Lathrope laughing. "Jest hear that, now!
"Oh, crickey," shouted out Master Negus at the top of his voice, at once betraying his whereabouts in his excitement, "there's a fight going on in the water, and two whales are leathering each other like fun!"
