He reeled back, till he fell over some obstruction, and then down he sat on a flower bed, while his eyes seemed ready to come out of his head. "Avast heavings," he cried, "Who's that?" "Come, come," said Charles Holland, "don't pretend you don't know me; I will not have my uncle spoken of in a disrespectful manner by you." "Well, shiver my timbers, if that ain't our nevey.
"Ay," said the admiral, "that's as plain as a purser's shirt upon a handspike; but that's the very reason why my nevey ain't here, and that's all about it." "And that's marvellous little, so far as the sense is concerned," said Varney, without the movement of a muscle.
"Once more I demand of you who you want?" said George, who was now perhaps a little amused at the conduct of the impatient visitors. "We want the admiral's nevey" said Jack. "But how do I know who is the admiral's nevey as you call him." "Why, Charles Holland, to be sure. Have you got him aboard or not?" "Mr.
"Come along, nevey," interrupted Jack Pringle; "now you've found your way back, the first thing you ought to do, is to report yourself as having come aboard. Follow me, and I'll soon show yer the port where the old hulk's laid hisself up."
"Drunken fellow," exclaimed Jack, who had now scrambled to his feet, "who do you call a drunken fellow?" "Why you, unquestionably." "Well, now, that is hard.

You promise me to say nothing about it until you have heard my explanation, uncle?" "Very good. Make it as soon as you can, and as short as you can, that's all I ask of you." "I will, I will."

Why, Charley, my boy, how are you? Here we are in port at last. Won't the old commodore pipe his eye, now. Whew! here's a go. I've found our nevey, after all." "You found him," said Dr. Chillingworth; "now, that is as great a piece of impudence as ever I heard in all my life. You mean that he has found you, and found you out, too, you drunken fellow. Jack, you get worse and worse every day."
'Nay, yae'll bet that wi' as big a fule as yersen; hae's noo son at all. As I oonderstan', hae's the nevey as is' t' heir th' esteate.
