But I know you well enough, my man; and you can scarcely have forgotten Lieutenant Splinter of the Torch, one would think?" The name so startled the poor fellow, that in his hurry to unlace his legs, as he sat tailor-fashion, he fairly capsized and toppled down on his nose. "Eh! no yes, him sure enough! And who is de piccaniny hofficer? Oh! I see, Massa Tom Cringle!
"If you please, Captain Vilson, I am wery sorry to be obliged to make hany complaint of hany hofficer, but this Mr Heasy thought proper to make use of language quite hunbecoming of a gentleman, and then to kick me as I vent down the atchvay." "Well, Mr Easy, is this true?" "Yes, sir," replied Jack; "I have several times told the fellow not to address himself to me, and he will.
"Young hofficer come home at night, Him give me ring and kisses; Nine months, one picaniny white, Him white almost like missis. But missis fum my back wid switch, Him say de shild for massa; But massa say him" The singer broke off suddenly, as if disturbed by the approach of some one.
The consequence was, as the evening was clear, that there was a very numerous assemblage upon the forecastle of the cutter Yungfrau. "Flog Jemmy!" said Bill Spurey. "Why, Jemmy's a hofficer." "To be sure he is," observed another: "and quite as good a one as Vanslyperken himself, though he don't wear brass on his hat." "Damn it what next heh, Coble?" Coble hitched up his trousers.
Shum said he had been a hofficer, and so he had. He had been a sub-deputy assistant vice-commissary, or some such think; and, as I heerd afterwards, had been obliged to leave on account of his NERVOUSNESS. He was such a coward, the fact is, that he was considered dangerous to the harmy, and sent home. He had married a widow Buckmaster, who had been a Miss Slamcoe.
"You may say it where you is, for dis yar gen'lem'n is a frind ob mine, an' a hofficer in the Bri'sh navy, an' a most 'tickler friend of Hester Sommers, so we all frinds togidder." "You'll excuse me, sir," said the seaman, touching his forelock, "but you don't look much like a' officer in your present costoom. Well, then, here's wot I've got to say "
And perhaps her never said half the things that Charles hath contributed to her." The truth was that poor Dolly had said scarcely one of them. "Bain't no young hofficer," Mr. Swipes replied, contemptuously; "ten times wuss than that, and madder for the Admiral. Give me that paper, Miss, and then, perhaps, I'll tell 'e. Be no good to you, and might be useful to me."
"Le's 'lect 'nother hofficer an' court martial 'im!" bawled the sailor venomously. "Sure, make 'im walk a plank!" "Son of a shark!" "Man-killin' crimp!" The whole crew came lurching around toward Madden, filled with the wordy anger of intoxicated men. The American arose to his feet with little emotion save a return of his old disgust.
Why, I consider that we had better now directly sing the song over again, all in chorus, and then we shall have damned the admiral a dozen times over; and Vanslyperken will hear us, and say to himself, 'They don't sing that song for nothing. What do you say, Dick Short, you're first hofficer?" "Yes," replied Short.
"`Wot are you, then? says the hofficer. "`I's a Moor, says I. "`Moor's the pity, says he." Ted gave a short laugh at this. "Now, that's strange," observed Ali, glancing at his companion in some surprise; "that's 'zactly wot they all did, w'en the hofficer says that! I've thought oftin 'bout it since, but never could see wot they laugh at."
