Later in the day, when the squall and the captain's rage had subsided, the incident was talked over by a knot of seamen in the forecastle. "You may say what you like," said one, "but I hold to it that Parmiter meant to knock young Burke into the sea. For why else did he put the ship in stays? He en't a fool, en't Parmiter." "Ay," said another, "and arter that there business with the block, eh?
Desmond watched the jolly crew as they turned into the Minories, and heard their rollicking chorus: "Ho! when the cargo's shipped, An the anchor's neatly tripped, An' the gals are weepin' bucketfuls o' sorrer, Why, there's the decks to swab, An' we en't a-goin' to sob, S'pose the sharks do make a meal of us tomorrer." At the Goat and Compasses Diggle was awaiting him.
"I think it don't worth while to leave it to our chillun, en't it?" "Ah!" said the husband, entirely to me, "daz de troub'! You see? we dawn't got some ba-bee'! Dat neveh arrive to her. God know' dass not de fault of us." "Yass," put in his partner, smiling to her needle, "the good God know' that verrie well." And the pair exchanged a look of dove-like fondness.
Toley in charge, came aboard in high humor. "I may be wrong," remarked Bulger, "but judgin' by cap'n's face, he've been an' choused the Pirate got twice the valley o' the goods he's landed." "I wonder where Mr. Diggle is?" said Desmond. "You en't no call to mourn for him, I tell you.
"Look at poor old Mrs. , what kept the house down Which Street always a most well-conducted house. Nobody couldn't find no fault with it, and 'twas her livin'! Why should she have her livin' took away like that, poor old gal?... They sims to think nobody en't right 'xcep' jest theirselves as if we poor people could live an' go on same as they do.
"I may be wrong," said Bulger to Desmond, "but I don't believe kedgin' was ever done so far from harbor afore. I allers thought there was something in that long head of Mr. Toley, though, to be sure, there en't no call for him to pull a long face, too." An hour passed after the loading had been stopped. All on board the Good Intent remained silent, speaking, if they spoke at all, in whispers.
