"Yes, that's it, but how did you know?" "Never mind how, go on with your tale, Georgy Porgy." "'If we could only find enough money, or somebody would leave us a fortune, she said, an' she was crying too, 'cause I felt a tear fall on me, you know.
"Yes, it's lots better than Georgy Porgy," nodded the boy. And so Small Porges he became, thenceforth. "But," said he, after a thoughtful pause, "I think, if you don't mind, I'd rather call you Uncle Porges. You see, Dick Bennet the black-smith's boy, has three uncles an' I've only got a single aunt, so, if you don't mind " "Uncle Porges it shall be, now and for ever, Amen!" murmured Bellew.
"Just a bit on the elbow; but my name's George." "Why so is mine!" said Bellew. "Though they call me 'Georgy-Porgy." "Of course they do," nodded Bellew, "they used to call me the same, once upon a time, Georgy Porgy, pudding and pie Kissed the girls, and made them cry,
And a beautiful, clean-scaled fish is Porgy, whose g, by-the-by, as I learned from a funny man in the heterogeneous crowd, is pronounced "hard, as in 'git eowt." A lovely fish is he, as he comes dripping up the side of the vessel from his briny pastures.
"And pray," enquired Bellew, after they had munched silently together, some while, "pray where might you be going?" "I don't know yet," answered Georgy Porgy with a shake of his curls. "Good again!" exclaimed Bellew, "neither do I." "Though I've been thinking of Africa," continued his diminutive companion, turning the remain of the bread and jam over and over thoughtfully.
There were boats out from three or four vessels before we pushed off with ours. I remember the porgy steamer had cut in ahead and given their boat a long start for a school. However, that school did not stay up long enough and they had their row for nothing. But then their steamer picked them up again and dropped them on the way to the same school that we were trying for.
Porgy prevailed to that extent, in fact, that it came to be talked of, by-and-by, as a circulating medium; and a hard-fisted mechanic averred his intention of compensating his landlady for his board with porgy, for the week that was passing away. For some time, luck appeared to favor the starboard side of the boat, at which the take was much greater than at the other.
So this morning I got up, awful' early, an' made myself a bundle on a stick, like Dick Whittington had when he left home, an' I started off to find a fortune." "I see," nodded Bellew. "But I haven't found anything yet," said Georgy Porgy, with a long sigh, "I s'pose money takes a lot of looking for, doesn't it?" "Sometimes," Bellew answered.
She laughed ruefully, recalling the row of pictorially-illustrated nursery rhymes that adorned the brown-paper dado of Saxham's third-floor bedroom, the previous tenant having been a family man. " Little Miss Muffet and Georgy Porgy; the Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds, and the Cow that jumped over the Moon. How can you endure them?"
Every fisherman handles two lines, and when the fishing is good he is kept busy hauling in and striking off the fish until his arms ache, and the tough skin on his hands is nearly chafed through. Sometimes the hooks are baited with bits of clam or porgy, though usually the mackerel, when biting at all, will snap with avidity at a naked hook, if tinned so as to shine in the water. Mr.
