"I say, quartermaster, why doesn't Neptune come on board?" Dead silence. "I wonder what has become of poor old Nep?" "Gone ashore!" growled the seaman. "Last seen in Rateliff Highway. Got a shop there lends a shilling in the pound on seamen's advance tickets." "Oh! and Amphitrite?" "Married the sexton at Wapping." "And the Nereids?" "Neruds!"
Then one will know the length and position of the lines NH, EM, and of HE, which is the thickness of the Crystal: which lines being traced separately upon a plan, and then joining NE and NM which cuts HE at P, the proportion of the refraction will be that of EN to NP, because these lines are to one another as the sines of the angles NPH, NEP, which are equal to those which the incident ray ON and its refraction NE make with the perpendicular to the surface.
He jumped at once into the boat, and crept under Phil's feet, making a nice warm mat. "Poor Nep," said Phil, patting him, "he felt neglected"; and the big tail wagged thankful thumps against the boat. The morning air was sweet with all manner of herbage yet fresh from the morning dew. The trees were in their most brilliant green, and every leaf seemed newly washed.
The sun was setting; and they floated through waves as rosy as the rosy sky. A fresh wind filled the sail, and ruffled Gulliver's white breast as he sat on the mast-head crooning a cheery song to himself. Dan held the tiller, and Davy lay at his feet, with Nep bolt upright beside him; but the happiest face of all was Moppet's.
This would be no easy task, but Dick's arms were strong, and once having made up his mind, he lost no time in carrying out his intention. Nep stood by, anxiously watching him, apparently perfectly satisfied with what he was doing.
He did not mind the black skin: he only saw the loneliness of the child, the tender heart, the innocent, white soul; and he was as glad to be a friend to her as if she had been as blithe and pretty as Dora. It was a happy day when Dan and Davy, Moppet, Gulliver, and Nep sailed away to the island; for that was still to be their home, with stout young Ben to help.
"We'll see we'll see, some o' these long days; not that the money's to be yours, Nep you're rich enough, and don't want it; there's your poor sister Scott with her fourteen children, and Aunt Bridget must give her a lift in life: she was a good niece to me, Simon, and never left my side before she married: maybe she'll have cause to bless the dead."
Wo betide the labourer that leaves off dealing there! not one that works at Hurstley, but eats my bread and bacon; besides the 'tea, coffee, tobacco, and snuff." "Pretty fairish articles, eh? I never dealt with you, Si: no, Nep, no you never saw the colour o' my money." Jennings gave a start, as if a thought had pricked him; but gayly recovering himself, said,
Often in long winter nights he lay awake, listening to the wind and rain, that made the tower rock with their violence; but he never was afraid, for Nep nestled at his feet, Dan sat close by, and overhead the great lamp shone far out into the night, to cheer and guide all wanderers on the sea. Close by the tower hung the fog-bell, which, being wound up, would ring all night, warningly.
He then made some dough cakes, which he cooked as before, on a large stone surrounded by ashes. He had begun his meal when he saw Nep ranging in the distance. He called the dog to him, and observing his hungry look, gave him the remainder of the pigeon and some dough cake. The dog, having eaten what was bestowed upon him, looked still anxious.
