"Bear a hand," he cried, "else I'll be torn to bits." Several hands grasped the line in a moment. "My! wot a wopper," exclaimed Tim Rokens. "Och! don't he pull? Wot a fortin he'd make av he'd only set his-self up as a tug-boat in the Thames!" "If only we had him at the oar for a week," added Gurney. "Hoich! doctor, have ye strength to set disjointed limbs?"
But he pitched it at us, and stuck it in our faces in sech a way that I got mad. And I says, Well, ef God sends me to hell he can't make me holler 'nough nohow. You see my dander was up. And when my dander's up, I wouldn't gin up fer the devil his-self. The preacher was so insultin' with his way of doin' it.
I've been a-trying to read some about him while I set here. And I read where he said somethin about doing fer the least of his brethren being as the same like as if it was done fer Jesus Christ his-self. Now there's Shocky. I reckon, p'r'aps, as anybody is a little brother of Jesus Christ, it is that Shocky. Pete Jones and his brother Bill is determined to have him back there to-morry.
O Lord! what a world this is! What does he call his-self?" "Why, here's the cheque George Frederick de de Burgh Smith." "Put it in your pipe, my man, put it in your pipe not worth a d !" "And who the deuce are you, sir?" bawled out Mr. Stubmore, in an equal rage both with himself and his guest.
"Who are you?" he called, from the distance, "and whence come you? What do you seek here? What d'ye mean, coming down on us this way?" The lieutenant heard somebody say, "That's Blackbeard his-self." And he looked with great interest at the distant figure. The pirate stood out boldly against the cloudy sky. Somebody seemed to speak to him from behind.
Poor Maggie, almost in tears, was considering this doubtful reassurance when Bobby suddenly pointed again toward that pretentious estate on the hillside, and cried in quick excitement: "Look-ee, Mag, there's a autermobile a-comin' out from the castle, right now see? She's a-goin' down the hill toward town. Who'll yer bet it is? Old Adam Ward his-self, heh?"
Then, taking thought and courage together, "Ye can't say the Bible ain't down on 'strong drink'?" There was no answer from the vanquished, and he went on in the overwhelming miller's voice: "Hil'ry hed better be purtectin' his-self from strong drink, 'stiddier the boy by makin' him stay up thar at the mill whar he knows thar's no drinkin' goin' on ez will git chances at it other ways, ef not through him, in the long life he hev got ter live.
But he don't know what work is, he don't." "Well, go to your work, and never mind me. I know every turn in the house as well as yourself, Beeves." "No, Mr. Smith; I'll attend to you, if you please. Mr. Percy will take care of his-self. There's no fear of him. But you're my business. You are sure to give a man a kind word who does his best to please you."
When I opened them again, the sun was higher up; but in his haste to get over the Dust-heap, he had dropped something. You may laugh I say he dropped something. Well I can't say what it was, in course a bit of his-self, I suppose. It was just like him a bit on him, I mean quite as bright just the same only not so big. And not up in the sky, but a-lying and sparkling all on fire upon the Dust-heap.
Miles thought that his nautical friend appeared to be unable to get along without a good many drops of drink, but he was too polite to say so. "Man alive!" continued Jack Molloy, striking his huge fist on his thigh with emphasis; "it's a wonderful place is this Welcome! An' it's a lively place too. Why, a fellow hanged his-self in one o' the bunks overhead not long ago."
