"Well, sir, I know him as I do the rest of the people on board; but we are not sworn friends yet," replied Dave, rather puzzled to know what duty was required of him in connection with the scullion. "You know him; that is enough. What do you think of him?" "I haven't had any long talks with him, sir, and I don't know what to think of him." "You know that he is dumb?"
The former letter in which she declined his offer was, she thought, very charmingly insolent, and the allusion to his lordship's scullion would have been successful, had it been sent on the moment, but now a graver letter was required, and the graver letter was as follows: Hertford Street, Wednesday, April 3.
Man after man came forward, but hardly one could raise it from the ground, far less cast it any distance from him. At this moment the cook strolled up and saw his scullion standing there. 'It is your turn, he said to Havelok; 'show them what you can do, for the honour of Lincoln, and Havelok obeyed him.
"Bring hither old Father Gottlieb," he commanded, and two of those waiting ran in haste towards the scullery of the place, from which they presently emerged dragging after them an old man partly in the habit of a monk and partly in that of a scullion, who wiped his hands on the coarse apron, that was tied around his waist, as he was hurried forward.

The foolish fat scullion herself, who was scouring a fish-kettle upon her knees, was rous'd with it. The whole kitchen crowded about the corporal.
"A yeoman in the kitchen a scullion!" exclaimed Lord Nigel, pacing the room in displeasure.
On the white margin he wrote a line or two, folded it without sealing, and then intrusted this scrap of paper to a child who seemed to serve him in the capacity both of scullion and lackey. The landlord whispered a word in the scullion's ear, and the child set off on a run in the direction of the town-hall. The traveller saw nothing of all this. Once more he inquired, "Will dinner be ready soon?"
