Now look'ee, were I a murderer and loved it like Adam, curse him I should pull trigger! But being Roger Tressady wi' a heart o' gold, I say sit down, lad, sit down and let us talk, friend, let us talk. Come sit down! Never mind Andy, he shan't trouble us!"

There's Tressady skulking below, and I have but contrived that the mutiny should come in my time rather than his and theirs.
