"My little friend," I was calling her again and again, rejoicing to summon up the past by the sound of it, and to gaze across on her, and to be a little distant "My little friend, now you are mine altogether; mine for good, my little friend; and that man's no longer at all." There came a sudden whiteness in her face, she plucked her hands from mine. "Davie, take me away from him!" she cried.

The men have been talking about it quiet like for a good while now." As Mr. Falk came forward on some errand or other, we stopped talking and worked harder than ever at tarring down the rigging.

If you want to better your future you must go abroad, where white men are at a premium.
