The aunt, house-keeper, had invited the nephew, butler, to take a dish of tea with her, and rum-punch had now succeeded the souchong. "Well, Aunt Quarles, is it your meaning to undertake a new master?" "Don't know, nephy can't say yet what he'll be like: if he'll leave us as we are, won't say wont."
"`A-sailin' down life's troubled stream, All as if it wor a dream." When memory failed he supplemented with original composition. "Goodbye, lad, an' Providence go wi' ye." "Goodbye, uncle. I need not remind you to look after mother when I'm away." "No, nephy, you needn't; I'll do it whether or not." "And Minnie, poor thing, she'll need a word of advice and comfort now and then, uncle."
Such were the words, followed by three cheers, with which his friends parted from him, and left him alone with the captain. "We must break it to her, nephy," said the captain, as they moved towards the cottage. "`Still so gently o'er me stealin', Memory will bring back the feelin'. "It won't do to go slap into her, as a British frigate does into a French line-o'-battle ship.
"But, avast! nephy, I haven't told ye all yet." "Oh! don't bother me with such trifles just now," cried Ruby, thrusting his uncle into a chair and resuming his own seat at his mother's side; "we'll speak of that at some other time; meanwhile let me talk to mother." "Minnie, dear," he continued, "who keeps the cash here; you or mother?"
"Come here a bit, nephy, I want to have a private word with 'ee in my cabin," said the captain, interrupting him, and going into his own room. Ruby rose and followed. "You haven't any " The captain stopped, stroked his bald head, and looked perplexed. "Well, uncle?" "Well, nephy, you haven't in short, have ye got any money about you, lad?" "Money? yes, a little; but why do you ask?"
"The fact is, sir," continued Joe, kindling with enthusiasm, "that your nephy has gone through a deal o' rough work since he left home, an' I'm free for to say has learned, with myself, a lot o' walooable lessons.
He didn't have but one arm, but there wa'n't many that ever come it over him. I've been thinkin' about one that did, and that he was scart of. If there was ever a man that scart him, and kept him scart till the day he died, then I'd like to see that same. It will be for me to show him that the nephy has some accounts of the poor old uncle to square."
You sees, your honour, as I said afore, I was own sarvant to Colonel Dysart; he was a Lord's nephy, a very gay gentleman, and great hand with the ladies, not a man more in the world; so I had the opportunity of larning what's what among the best set; at his honour's expense, too, augh!
He shorely stops one of them Apaches in his lopin' up, an' down the land for good an' all. "In less than no time the whole tribe is down on Captain Moon an' his nephy, demandin' blood. Thar's plenty of some sorts of wisdom about a savage, an' these yere Apaches ain't runnin' right in on Moon an' his relatif neither.
Well, take care of yourself, nephy, said the farmer, waving his hand impressively. 'Take care! In these warlike times your spirit may carry ye into the arms of the enemy; and you are the last of the family. You should think of this, and not let your bravery carry ye away. 'Don't be disturbed, uncle; I'll control myself, said Festus, betrayed into self-complacency against his will.
