No won'er you'se bofe off de handle. Dere's been only two times wen I couldn't stan' Unc. nohow. De fust an' wust was wen he get polytics on de brain, an' belebed dat ole guv'ner Moses was gwine ter lead de culud people to a promis' lan'.

"Rubbish!" and "Piffle!" Once he said in a bitterly scoffing tone: "I suppose your precious guv'ner thinks he's got the artistic temperament." "I don't know," said Pollyooly. He squared briskly up to an easel, danced lightly on his toes before it, and said: "I'll give him the artistic temperament all right."
Then evidently hearing some one near by, he shouted aloud: "I say, Bill, come here;" and Bob realised that a new danger was at hand.

"Grab 'em, guv'ner grab 'em when you come by!" he sang out over the roar of the waters.
