Lookye here, Master Aleck Donne, you come up to my place, and the missus'll find you a tin bowl o' water, a bit o' soap, and a clean towel. You won't hurt after a wash, but be able to go home as proud as a tom rooster. You licked your man, and the captain'll feel proud of you, for Big Jem was too much of a hard nut for such a chap as you. Come on, my lad."
"Well, no, not quite everything, but nearly. I believe it's because it was made round. Lookye here, missus: how can matters go right on a thing as has got no sound bottom to stand on? If the world had been made square it would have stood square, and things would have come right; but there it is all round and never keeping steady, and allus changing.
"No; but uncle says you're to be careful and not use so many, for they're expensive, and you do seem to like to drive in as many as you can." "Now, you lookye here, Master Aleck," said the sailor, solemnly; "a copper nail may mean a man's life. You put in a hiron one and after a bit the sea water eats it all away.
You'd better tell tales do. Oh, I say, boys, lookye here. This is a rumtummikos incomprehensibus. What a beast!" He had taken hold of the unfortunate stoat by the tail and held it out amidst roars of laughter. "We'll have a fire and burn him. What's next?" He dived down into the great chest, and brought out the starling. "Here you are, boys," he cried again.
"Because we must have our hands free to use our weapons," I replied. "True, my lad," he said, "and we might have to drop and not recover them." "They'll be no end of a bother for the ladies, Mas'r Harry," said Tom. "Lookye here: they sticks 'll ride as comf'able as can be atop of the gold bags. Why not have 'em here?"
But he mastered himself and stood firm, listening as the steps of the party behind came nearer and nearer till they were close at hand. This was too much for Punch. "Lookye here," he whispered; "they will be ready to march over us directly. How are we going to tell them to halt?" "Be silent. Perhaps they will have the sense to see that they ought to stop.
We can't have been here nine days." "Oh yes, we can. It's ten, because there was the day before, when he came first and doctored your leg." "Well, you seem very sure about it; but I think you are wrong." "I ain't," said Punch sturdily. "Lookye here," and he thrust his hand into his pocket and brought it out again full of little pebbles. "Well, what have they got to do with it?" "Everything.
So the gentleman asked the woman what she was doing. "Why, lookye," she said, "look at all that beautiful grass. I'm going to get the cow on to the roof to eat it. She'll be quite safe, for I shall tie a string round her neck, and pass it down the chimney, and tie it to my wrist as I go about the house, so she can't fall off without my knowing it."
The man gave himself a wrench, and his face puckered up again with anger. "Lookye here," he said, more quietly, "I don't say there is, and I don't say there arn't; but suppose there is, you're going to swear as you won't take no notice." "No, I'm not," said Aleck, boldly. "Then you do want me to chuck you down yonder?"
"Vairy good, then, my friends, we were going to offer you a happy life and a share in our prize, but you will not take them, so we shall have to pitch you both overboard." "As Neb says, I should just like to ketch yer at it," roared Blane. "Lookye here, Frenchy," cried Dumlow in his strange growl, "you make these beggars loosen this here line, and I'll fight yer one hand."
