And then it dawned on my recollection that I had heard Judy mention her uncle Stoddart. But how could he be her uncle? "Is he a relation of the family?" I asked. "He's a brother-in-law, I believe, of the old lady, sir, but how ever he come to live there I don't know. It's no such binding connexion, you know, sir. He's been in the milintairy line, I believe, sir, in the Ingies, or somewheres."
"The old girl's got as pretty a pair of heels of her own as you'd wish to see." "The faster she goes, the better," answered Peter Ogle. "I never does feel comfortable like when one of those Monsieurs is in sight, till I gets up alongside him and overhauls him one way or the other. You mind how they used to give us the slip in the West Ingies. They'll be trying on the same game now, depend on't."
He strode along so rapidly that Tom had hard work to keep up with him; and in spite of his efforts, David strode into the workshop first, pulled off his hat, dashed it down on the floor, and struck one hand loudly with his fist. "What I say is this here, sir. I've sarved you faithful ever since you come back from the burning Ingies " "Silence!" "And made the garden what it is "
It wasn't so when young Belinda, who you took off the island of Antiggy, in the Ingies, jumped overboard, and I went after her in a heavy swell. Howsomdever, never mind, you shook hands with me then; and while a bushel of the briny was weeping out of the corner of each of your blinkers, you says, says you, " "Hold!" cried the admiral, "hold! I know what I said, Jack.
"I'm sure I meant no offence, Miss Horn," said her visitor. "I thocht a' body kent 'at she was ill about him." "Aboot wha, i' the name o' the father o' lees?" "Ow, aboot that lang leggit doctor 'at set oat for the Ingies, an' dee'd afore he wan across the equautor. Only fouk said he was nae mair deid nor a halvert worm, an' wad be hame whan she was merried."
Now, what I consider best is this, if so be it be against the articles well, then, let's all be in for it together, and then Vanslyperken will be puzzled, and, moreover, it will give him a hint how matters stand, and he may think better of it; for although we must not have Jemmy touched, still it's quite as well not to have a regular breeze with the jollies; for if so be that the Scarborough, or any other king's ship, be in port when we arrive, Vanslyperken may run under the guns, and then whip the whole boiling of us off to the Ingies, and glad to get us, too, and that's no joke.

I was teaching school here when she was born, and then the captain took her away to the Ingies again." Most folks pronounced it that way. "Rather meachin' little thing I s'pose it was the climate over there. They say it turns the skin yellow. Let's see how you read, sissy?" She read several verses out of the New Testament quite to the dame's satisfaction. Then about spelling.
She's not going back to the Ingies? I heard the captain was coming home." "He is settling up his affairs," was the quiet answer. Dame Wilby looked the child all over. "You'll sit on that bench," she said. Then she rang the bell and the children trooped in, staring at her. The little boys four of them were on the seat back of her, on her seat she made the fifth.
He's the son of an old shipmate, sir, killed out in the West Ingies, fighting with Lord Rodney; and his mother was an old shipmate too; and so the boy was left to the ship's company, and they chose us to look after him and we have looked after him, and we intend to look after him; and we loves him just as if he was a son, and more nor some fathers do their sons, and that's the truth on't, sir; and so we all intends to ship with him, that we may have him among us, that's it, sir."
