"I must go and see him if he'd care to have me." "He'd take it as the honour of his life. He's crazy over the flowers you sent him." "Would he care for books? And what sort?

They were pretty peaceable-looking fellows, though their skins were brown enough. We managed to make them understand that our ship had been cast away: indeed, our mast showed them that; and we were not long in tumbling on board, and making our salaams to an old chap, who seemed to be their captain.
