'But the goods, you know 'Curse the goods! said the smuggler, 'we could have got plenty more; but, der deyvil! to lose the ship and the fine fellows, and my own life, for a cursed coward villain, that always works his own mischief with other people's hands!
'Because I am surprised to see you in the very last place where you ought to be, if you regard your safety, observed Glossin, coolly. 'Der deyvil! no man regards his own safety that speaks so to me! 'What? unarmed, and in irons! well said, Captain! replied Glossin, ironically.
Ere Glossin had got upon his feet, the hoarse yet suppressed voice of Hatteraick growled through the recesses of the cave: 'Hagel and donner! be'st du? 'Are you in the dark? 'Dark? der deyvil! ay, said Dirk Hatteraick; 'where should I have a glim? 'I have brought light'; and Glossin accordingly produced a tinder- box and lighted a small lantern.

'Nay, I advise no violence. 'Nein, nein; you leave that to me. Sturmwetter! I know you of old. But, hark ye, what am I, Dirk Hatteraick, to be the better of this?

But, hark ye, Hatteraick, what will all the tulips and flower-gardens and pleasure-houses in the Netherlands do for you if you are hanged here in Scotland? Hatteraick's countenance fell. 'Der deyvil! hanged! 'Ay, hanged, mein Herr Captain.
The man looked at the note, then at his foot-rule and measure, then verified his former measurement by a second. 'They correspond, he said, 'within a hair-breadth to a foot-mark broader and shorter than the former. Hatteraick's genius here deserted him. 'Der deyvil! he broke out, 'how could there be a footmark on the ground, when it was a frost as hard as the heart of a Memel log?
"Stranger?" replied the other; "strange enough, I think for hold me der deyvil, if I been ever here before." "That won't pass, Mr. Captain." "That must pass, Mr. Justice sapperment!" "And who will you be pleased to call yourself, then, for the present," said Glossin, "just until I shall bring some other folks to refresh your memory, concerning who you are, or at least who you have been?"

Why, man, though I gave her a wipe with my hanger in the heat of the matter, and cut her arm, and though she was so long after in trouble about it up at your borough-town there, der deyvil! old Meg was as true as steel." "Why, that's true, as you say," replied Glossin. "And yet if she could be carried over to Zealand, or Hamburg, or or anywhere else, you know, it were as well."
