Got more'n enuff ob marble ones all around. Besides, you don't make a good statoo leastwise not wid dem slop clo'es on. Now, come yar, Geo'ge. I wants a little combersation wid you. I'll preach you a small sarmin if you'll allow me." So saying, Peter led his assistant slave into a cool arbour, where Ben-Ahmed was wont at times to soothe his spirits with a pipe.
Of course a scene like this could not be witnessed unmoved by our midshipman. Indeed he would infallibly have rushed to the rescue of the bearded Frenchman if Peter's powerful grip on his shoulder had not restrained him. "Don't be a fool, Geo'ge," he whispered. "Remember, we must submit!"
With a heart that felt as if ready to burst with conflicting emotions, the poor midshipman looked on, clenching his teeth to prevent unwise exclamations, and unclenching his fists to prevent the tendency to commit assault and battery! "This is dreadful," he said, in a low voice, when the gang had passed. "Yes, Geo'ge, it is drefful but we's used to it, you know. Come, we'll foller dis gang."
I've been talking with Geo'ge about it; and the'e's no sense in putting it off. I ought to begin taking care of him at once." "Well, I guess when I tell your motha how you're layin' hold, she won't think it's the same pusson," said her father, proudly. "But it is; I haven't changed a bit." "You ha'n't changed for the wohse, anyway." "Didn't I always try to do what I had to?"
It is one comfort, however, that I'll be able to send a message back by you. And I'm also glad that I shall not have to part from you, my dear Peter, without telling you how much I love you and how sorry, very, very sorry, I am to say good-bye." "Geo'ge," returned the negro earnestly, "don't you count your cheekins afore dey's hatched! You're not away yit." Foster made no reply.
"I'm glad to hear you say so, for I don't like to play the part of a hypocrite, Peter; I like to be all fair and above-board." "Was it all fair an' above-board, Geo'ge, to kiss dat leetle gal when she was all alone and unpurtected? Was it all fair an' above-board to call her you dear chile, as if you was her fadder?"
And the paper says to-morrow," cried Foster; "to take her away and marry her, no doubt. Peter, I tell you, she must be saved to-night! You and I must save her. If you won't aid me I will do it alone or die in the attempt." "Geo'ge, if you was to die a t'ousan' times dat wouldn't sabe her. You know de Kasba?" "Yes, yes go on!"
