"Whether they apply from here, or from the other side of the Channel, no consequence, you must take them if not " "If not, what?" replied Vanslyperken. "You'll swing, that's all, my buck. Good night to you," replied Moggy, leaving the cabin. "I'll swing," muttered Vanslyperken, rolling against the bulkhead. "Well, if I do, others shall swing too. Who cares? damn the faggot!"
Moggy was not sorry to receive her instructions, which were, to remain at Portsmouth until Lazarus the Jew should give her further orders; for there was one point which Moggy was most anxious to accomplish, now that she could do it without risking a retaliation upon her husband, which was, to use her own expression, to pay off that snivelling old rascal, Vanslyperken.
"Let him take that for his trouble," cried Moggy, turning round, and delivering a swinging box of the ear upon the astonished marine, who, not liking to encounter such an Amazon, made a hasty retreat down the fore-hatchway. "So there you are, are you?" continued Moggy, as Vanslyperken stepped on the deck. "Silence, Moggy." "You, that would flog my own dear darling duck my own Jemmy." "Silence!
Moggy raised the cleaver, took good aim down it came upon the dog's tail, which was separated within an inch of its insertion, and was left bleeding on the block, while the dog sprang away aft, howling most terribly, and leaving a dotted line of blood to mark his course upon the deck.
I don't mean to say that Old Moggy is like the old prophet, but yet she is aged and friendless; and those who abuse and ill-treat her are, in the eyes of the Almighty, doing a great wickedness; that they are, I'm sure."
The rest of the party followed more slowly. Tom remained outside; the young Morgans entered. They found Frank seated opposite to Moggy, talking away to her, and telling her how happy he was to see her so comfortable. The poor old woman was much gratified with the attention paid her. "But where is Tom?" cried Frank. "Willie, tell him to come in. I want to introduce him to Moggy.
Meanwhile the moment they were out of sight Lionel had turned upon his sister sharply, and angrily. "Moggy, what on earth do you mean by speaking so to Mrs. Templestowe?" "Speaking how? What did I say?" retorted Imogen. "You didn't say anything out of the common, but your manner was most disagreeable. If she hadn't been the best-tempered woman in the world she would have resented it on the spot.
He will be interested in her, for a kinder heart than his does not beat in the bosom of any man, woman, or child that I know of." Tom soon made his appearance, doffing his tarpauling as he entered, and taking a seat to which Frank pointed, nearly opposite Moggy.
"Now, now," cried Moggy, slapping her elbow, "hav'n't I got the dog, and won't I cut him up into sassingers and eat him in the bargain, if you won't give me my dear darling Jemmy and all his papers in the bargain?" "Man the boat," cried Vanslyperken. But no one would obey the order. "Look here," cried Moggy, flourishing a knife which she had borrowed from the man in the boat.
Notwithstanding Mr Vanslyperken having ordered Moggy out of the cutter, she had taken the opportunity of his being away to go on board to her dear, darling Jemmy.
