There was something over a peck of Early Rose potatoes in the basket in size from a pigeon's to a pullet's egg. The grateful woman could wait no longer for the potatoes to grow larger, but had dug these, and had come ten miles over the sea, in the night, to bring them to me as a first offering of food of her own raising.
"I will go with you, Uncle Job," added Mr. Pennant quietly. "You, Massa Gumboat!" cried the negro. "De sodgers put de bagonet frou your crop like a knife frou a pullet's froat!" "Not if you tell them I am the doctor," added the lieutenant. "De doctor! Be you a doctor, sar?"
Pullet's departure, informing her that she needn't trouble her mind about her five hundred pounds, for it should be paid back to her in the course of the next month at farthest, together with the interest due thereon until the time of payment.
