After I had satisfied them for their trouble, I sat down to rest myself; and looking about me, could not see the pot of bran. It is impossible for me to express to your majesty my surprise and the effect it had on me at the moment. I asked my wife hastily what was become of it; when she told me the bargain she had made with the sandman, which she thought to be a very good one.
Tell them all to be hungry. Your name is Mr. Balker, the mate of the Rattler, the blockade-runner from which we escaped in a whaleboat. My name is Jerry Sandman, the second mate, for the want of a better. Tell them not to forget any of these names," continued Christy.
The girl looked over the spaces, a little smile in her eyes. "Ah, then you didn't need to be told that the sandman comes early there." "But not, I think, when the moon shines bright and the simple amusements you speak of seem to be waiting? Surely games in the evening are not altogether forbidden, or does my memory of the place deceive me?" "You seem to remember it perfectly.
Then he put his finger into his mouth side by side with the bottle, and gagged himself, and choked, and gave a terrible excuse the word hiccough. After which he seemed to lose interest in the milk, and the pumping operations slackened and then ceased. 'Goosey! whispered his mother, 'getting seepy? Is the sandman throwing sand in your eyes? Old Sandman at it? Sh ... He had gone. Emmie took him.
"I wants to see them." The Sandman shook his head at Peter. "Oh, no, you don't, little boy," he said. "No, you don't! Don't you go meddling in their direction or you'll get into trouble, take my word for it. They live way off in the woods and they're a bad lot. They've got a worse boss than old Sandy! No, no; the good kind are trouble enough for me.
It was my fault I promised mother I would always look after Peter. We'll go together. The Sandman will tell us where the Bad Dreams live, won't you?" she added, turning to Sandy. "There, there, of course I will," said the little man kindly. "I'd go along with you, if there wasn't such a press of business just now, but you can see for yourselves what a mess things would be in if I should leave.
"Ah! unfortunate woman!" cried I, "you know not the injury you have done me, yourself, and our children, by making that bargain, which has ruined us for ever. You thought you only sold the bran, but with the bran you have enriched the sandman with a hundred and ninety pieces of gold, which Saadi with his friend came and made me a second present of."

The nearest approach that Mammy ever made to anything of this kind was to tell us, when we began to look sleepy, that the sandman had been along and filled our eyes. On receiving this information, we generally retired peaceably to bed, without being haunted by any fears of ghost or goblin.
"My name's Jerry Sandman; and I ain't ashamed on't." "Are your men all sailors, Jerry?" "Every one on 'em." "I want eight good men, Jerry, the mate bein' one on 'em." "Then we kin fix you like a 'possum in a hole." "I've got two boats on the shore; the deserters stole one on 'em, and I come ashore in t'other arter 'em.
