Among some of the groups of islands you might do so with safety; but if you tried it here, you would find that you had jumped out of the fryin'-pan into the fire." "How so, Bill?" said I.

That will never do. Sus. Them's for Bill and me, sir. I was a goin' on, sir. And, Bill, a chop a nice chop. But Lord! how are we to cook it, with never a fryin'-pan, or a bit o' fire to set it on!

"I take me oath, Willie," said the assassin earnestly, "th' on'y thing I really needs is a ball. Me t'roat feels like a fryin'-pan. But as I can't get a ball, why, th' next bes' thing is breakfast, an' if yeh do that for me, b'Gawd, I say yeh was th' whitest lad I ever see."
