Hold on! said my neighbor, a young fellow whose name seems to be John, and nothing else, for that is what they all call him, hold on! the Sculpin is go'n' to say somethin'.
There'd have been a mutiny right then if I'd caught sight of you. You little sculpin! Playin' it on your Uncle Cy, was you? I didn't know you could keep a secret so well." "Oh, yes I can! Why, I know an ever so much bigger secret, too. It is Why! I 'most forgot. You just wait." The captain laughingly begged her to divulge the big secret, but she shook her small head and refused.
We put out a bait that anybody with sense would say couldn't catch nothin' but sculpin, and, by mighty, we hooked a halibut! If the woman was anything like what you'd think she'd be, answerin' an advertisement like that, I'd be the fust to say let her go, but she ain't; she's all right, and we need her to nuss John besides."
"O, I'm sorry I spoke," said Troffater, and spit through his teeth. "I don't know nothin' about it. I don't want to go afore Fabens, and be obleeged to look 'im in the face. I wish I'd never seen Sculpin, nor his little thievin' capers." "Don't bother me, now," said Bogle. "If ye know anything and I bleeve ye dew out with it, and be my witness.
When he had given up coasting, bought the strip of Massachusetts seashore known as Sculpin Point, built a comfortable cottage on it and settled down within sight and sound of the salt water, he had brought with him Lank Peters, who for a dozen years had presided over the galley in the Captain's ship. More than a mere sea-cook was Lank Peters to Captain Bean.
Tim, he says he guesses the money won't take no hurt in the bank and that some day, when he an' Chieftain git ready to retire, maybe it'll come in handy." With his coming to Sculpin Point there was begun for Barnacles the most surprising period of a more or less useful career which had been filled with unusual equine activities.
To the cynical camera man its general nature was expressed in his whispered phrase to the manager: "You better not leave them property butcher knives on that there table, Mr. Harrison. This gink is nuts: he thinks's he's Mike Angelo or some other sculpture. He'll start sculpin' the crowd in a minute!"
As we look at these two, we must own that noblesse oblige in a sense sweeter than we knew, and be glad when young Sculpin invites us to see the family portraits. Could a man be named Sidney, and not be a better man, or Milton, and be a churl? But it is apart from any historical association that I like to look at the family portraits.
"I hope they will think enough of themselves to keep away from my hook this morning," said Kate, philosophically, "and the sculpin too. I am going to fish for cunners alone, and keep my line short." And she perched herself on the quarter, baited her hook carefully, and threw it over, with a clam-shell to call attention.
What! the Sculpin? said the young fellow. The diminutive person, with angular curvature of the spine, I said, and double talipes varus, I beg your pardon, with two club-feet.
