Have your sulks out, lads; you'll come round like the Priscilla on a tack, and discover you've made way by it. We quitted his cabin, bowing stiffly. Temple declared old Rippenger was better than this canting rascal. The sea was around us, a distant yellow twinkle telling of land. 'His wife a barren woman! what's that to us! Temple went on, exploding at intervals. 'So was Sarah.
Rippenger called me up to him, to inform me, that whoever I was, and whatever I was, and I might be a little impostor foisted on his benevolence, yet he would bring me to a knowledge of myself: he gave me warning of it; and if my father objected to his method, my father must write word to that effect, and attend punctually to business duties, for Surrey House was not an almshouse, either for the sons of gentlemen of high connection, or for the sons of vagabonds.
