And I don't propose to bandy words with any runagate American partisan who uses his commission to further private vengeance.

"Oliver," he added apart to that favourite, who ever waited around him like the familiar beside a sorcerer, "hark thee tell Tristan to be speedy in dealing with yonder runagate Bohemian." I'll take thee to the good green wood, And make thine own hand choose the tree.

"It becomes you ill, that are a restless man and a runagate, to doubt my justice or the King my father's, that are sedentary folk and known in the land." "Nay," said the elder brother; "you have all else, have patience also, and suffer me to say the world is full of touchstones, and it appears not easily which is true." "I have no shame of mine," said the younger brother.

"We are young and strong. We will work for him." "What, a couple of lads like you, that have come to London seeking for him to befriend you deserving well my cap for that matter. Will ye be guided to him, broken and soured no more gamesome, but a sickly old runagate?" "Of course," cried Ambrose. "He is our mother's brother. We must care for him."

Lord Hate-good performs the office of counsel for the prisoners as well as Scroggs himself could have performed it. "JUDGE. Thou runagate, heretic, and traitor, hast thou heard what these honest gentlemen have witnessed against thee? "FAITHFUL. May I speak a few words in my own defence?

Having thus given an account of the colony in general, and pretty much of my runagate Englishmen, I must say something of the Spaniards, who were the main body of the family, and in whose story there are some incidents also remarkable enough.

"Why, true," said he, "now that I come to look, I perceive that it is indeed black." And again was Sir Rowland disconcerted. Still he pursued the lesson he had taught himself.

If I had not already been in such mortal terror of the consequences of Joe's mad freak, I should have laughed to see the wayfarers as they skipped out of the course of the runagate, not one of them aware as yet that it held human contents, nor guessing that the end might be more than broken staves. By this time Joe himself had come to a sense of his recklessness.

"Admiral of the Navies of the Catholic King." Lord Julian gasped. If Spain made such a hubbub about the depredations of a runagate adventurer like Captain Blood, what could not England answer now? "Will you tell me, then, why you behave like a damned pirate?" he asked.

"In 1785, I found this runagate at Vienna. He was then Count Erdich's man, and when we come to that period, the reader shall hear what I did." Casanova did not reach this period, in writing his Memoirs, but an account of this meeting is given by Da Ponte, who was present at it, in his Memoirs. Costa had met with many misfortunes, as he told Casanova, and had himself been defrauded.
