But Mr Vanslyperken had no intention to let him go; his avarice induced him at first to try if the man would be satisfied with his promise to reward him a promise which would certainly never have been adhered to. "Stop! my dear sir, do not be in such a hurry. Take another glass." "With pleasure," replied the man, reseating himself, and drinking off the scheedam.
As soon as Moggy had taken her glass of scheedam, she began to think what she should say, for she had no message ready prepared; at last a thought struck her.
Vanslyperken poured out another glass of scheedam, and pushed the stone bottle to the corporal, who helped himself without ceremony. Mr Vanslyperken was now about two thirds drunk, for he was not used to such a quantity of spirits. "Now, if I had only been friends with that that hell fire Moggy Salisbury," thought Vanslyperken, speaking aloud to himself.
Let me see," continued the man, taking out his watch; "mercy on me! how time has flown that's the scheedam. In a couple of hours we must weigh. I'll go up and see if the wind holds in the same quarter. If you please, lieutenant, we'll just drink success to the expedition. Well, that's prime stuff, I do declare."
O, Mr Vanslyperken! see what your favourite was brought to, because you did not come to. At this time Smallbones had his nose in the stone jar of scheedam the olfactory examination was favourable, so he put his mouth to it the labial essay still more so, so he took down a wine-glass, and, without any ceremony, filled a bumper, and handed it to Coble.
As soon as Moggy had taken her glass of scheedam, she began to think what she should say, for she had no message ready prepared; at last a thought struck her.
Mr Vanslyperken collected himself he wished to know how Smallbones had been saved, but still dared not broach the subject, as it would be admitting his own guilt. "What has happened, Smallbones?" said Vanslyperken. "I still feel very faint." "Take a glass of this," replied Smallbones, opening the cupboard, and bringing out the scheedam.
"It must have been so," said Mr Vanslyperken, who fortified the idea with a glass of scheedam, and then went to bed.
It was the first time that he had been a murderer. He was pale as ashes. He felt sick, and he staggered to his cupboard, poured out a tumbler of scheedam, and drank it off at a draught. This recovered him, and he again felt brave. He returned on deck, and ordered his boat to be manned, which was presently done.
"Yes," quoth Short. "I can't comprehend this not no how." "No," quoth Short. As soon as they were in the cabin, Moggy observed the bottle of scheedam on the table. "Come, Mr Vanslyperken, you'll treat me to-night, and drink my health again, won't you?"
