"P.S. Until then I would advise you not to show your nose in this neighbourhood." "He always was an ill-natured fellow, was my brother Sam," exclaimed Tom, not seeming concerned at the news of his father's ruin, while, crumpling up the letter, he thrust it into his pocket. "I feel inclined to hang myself or jump overboard." "Don't think of doing anything so bad," said Bill.
