This, of course, reconciled them to immediate departure, though, in truth, the professor was the only one who required to be reconciled. "It is very misfortunate," he remarked with a sigh, which had difficulty in escaping through a huge mass of fish and rice.
"It ain't often I make a mistake judgin' a man" he muttered piteously, "but I've sure been taken in on this feller. I thought he'd stand the acid by God! I thought he'd stand it.

"He says, madam, that none of the other workmen are paid yet; and that, to be sure, is very true; but then they can all better afford to wait than we can, for we were the poorest of all, madam, and have been misfortunate from the beginning: and his honour would never have employed us, only he had run up such a bill with Mr Wright, that he would not undertake any thing more till he was paid.
"Yes, Mr Heasy, quite as good a gentleman as yourself, although I av ad misfortune I ham of as hold a family as hany in the country," replied Mr Easthupp, now backed by the boatswain; "many the year did I valk Bond Street, and I ave as good blood in my weins as you, Mr Heasy, halthough I have been misfortunate I've had hadmirals in my family."
