He was fond of children, too; and one of his amusements was to distribute handfuls of candy over the counter of his store. When any poor fellow froze to death, or went "looney" in the great solitudes, it was Nick Grylls who dug deepest in his pocket for the relief of the unfortunate family.
"So," he said, facing her quickly, "for the sake of a lot of riff-raff and scum that's drifted here around us jest for the sake of cuttin' a swell before them you'll go out among the hounds ez allowed your mother was a Spanish nigger or a kanaka, ez called your father a pirate and landgrabber, ez much as allowed he was shot by some one or killed himself a purpose, ez said you was a heathen and a looney because you didn't go to school or church along with their trash, ez kept away from Maw's sickness ez if it was smallpox, and Dad's fun'ral ez if he was a hoss-thief, and left you and me to watch his coffin on the marshes all night till the tide kem back.
They call 'im the Looney Fishmonger in the Comp'ny, sir. Revere signed the last paper and the Sergeant retreated. 'It's a filthy amusement, sighed Bobby to himself.
