Of course, if he's with Mr. Fladgate in some foreign den of iniquity, that accounts for it." "Don't foreigners wear hats?" inquired Mrs. Fladgate, innocently. "Not the respectable English sort, I'll bet bound," replied Mrs. Quelch; "some outlandish rubbish, I dare say. But I thought Mr.
Perched up on one of the masts, an unseen spectator, he watched a mutiny flare up among the sailors, and saw that "strutting, swaggering villain, John Quelch, throw the captain overboard and take command himself." "Of all the lives, I ever say, A Pirate's be for I. Hap what hap may, he's allus gay An' drinks an' bungs his eye.
