What a desperate liking your folks have for saints, Philip-o" for so Ithuel pronounced Filippo, the name of his companion "what a desperate liking your folks have for saints, Philip-o, that they must even call their money after them."

It's a Christian name, and the other isn't. Before I married my man I lived five years at Mrs. Robertson's, and she had a boy they called Phil. His whole name was Philip." "That's my name in English." "Then why don't you call it so, instead of Philip-O? What good is the O, anyhow? In my country they put the O before the name, instead of to the tail-end of it. My mother was an O'Connor.

"Signor Ithuello," answered the Genoese, in English, "it will not do to let these gentlemen know anything of them kegs one being the deputy-governor and the other a magistrate. The lugger will be seized for a smuggler, which will be the next thing to being seized for an enemy." "Yet I've a longing for them 'ere sequins, to tell you the truth, Philip-o!

"Si" repeated Ithuel, with emphasis, as soon as he heard his nationality thus alluded to, and found all eyes on himself "Si, oon Americano I'm not ashamed of my country; and if you're any way partic'lar in such matters, I come from New Hampshire or, what we call the Granite state. Tell 'em this, Philip-o, and let me know their idees, in answer."

Harkee, Philip-o; tell the gentleman, in an undertone, like, about the three kegs of tobacco we got out of the Virginy ship the day we made the north end of Corsica, and perhaps that will satisfy him we are not his enemies. There is no use in bawling it out so that the woman can hear what you say, or the men who are drinking in the other room."

"Do you call this wine!" exclaimed Ithuel, when he stopped literally to take breath; "there isn't as much true granite in a gallon on't as in a pint of our cider. I could swallow a butt, and then walk a plank as narrow as your religion, Philip-o!"
