When I saw him going to slip his cable, I wanted to be as good a fellow as he is, so I crept alongside Ramgolam. And gently, and without force, made myself proprietor of the amulet and inheritor of a good man's qualities Tickell. And quietly boned the article, and the captain's virtues.

"Then I must lash you to a spar," said he, "for she can't last much longer." He ordered Sharpe ashore.
"Not I: nor don't act it neither," said Sharpe. At this confession Ramgolam looked down on him with pity and mild contempt. Mr. Tickell was put forward as interpreter.

Of all men, negroes are the most capable of friendship; their affection is a mine: and we have only worked it with the lash; and that is a ridiculous mining tool, I rather think."
