It's devilish like Otaheite, isn't it?" "I wish my tailor wrote as illegibly," said another; "I'd keep up a most animated correspondence with him." "Here, O'Shaughnessy, you know something of savage life, spell us this word here." "Show it here. What nonsense, it's as plain as the nose on my face: 'Master Charles O'Malley, in foreign parts!"
