"'Cause I made up my mind, this morning, that I'd be a sailor when I grow up, a mariner, you know, like Peterday, only I'd prefer to have both my legs." "You'd find it more convenient, perhaps." "You know all 'bout oceans, an' waves, and billows, don't you Uncle Porges?" "Well, I know a little." "An' are you ever sea-sick, like a 'landlubber?" "I used to be, but I got over it."
And Porges! dear, quaint, Small Porges! where under heaven could he ever find again such utter faith, such pure unaffected loyalty and devotion as throbbed within that small, warm heart? How could he ever bid "Good-bye" to loving, eager, little Small Porges? And then there was Miss Priscilla, and the strong, gentle Sergeant, and Peterday, and sturdy Adam, and Prudence, and the rosy-cheeked maids.
"Cupboard!" returned Peterday with a snort of disdain, "why there never was such a ill-contrived, lubberly cupboard as that, in all the world; you can't get at it unless you lay over to port, on account o' the clothes-press, and then hard a starboard, on account o' the dresser, and then it being in the darkest corner "
Now as the car drew nearer, Anthea, with a thrill of pleasure, recognized the Sergeant standing very much as though he were on parade, and with honest-faced Peterday beside him, who stumped joyfully forward, and, with a bob of his head, and a scrape of his wooden leg, held out his hand to her.
"Why so so, Peterday, fairish! fairish!" said the Sergeant, stirring his tea round and round, and with his gaze fixed upon the opposite wall. "Then messmate, why not a muffin, or even a occasional shrimp, where be your appetite?"
