He didn't quit, Al didn't, and he wouldn't want us to. No sir-ee, he wouldn't! No, sir, no! . . . I I hope you'll excuse me, Cap'n Lote. I declare it must seem to you as if I was talkin' pretty fresh. I swan I'm sorry.
You was a good brave mate until you went wrong. I ain't forgot how you sprayed the hillsides with lead the day Gib an' Scraggsy was took by them cannibals. No, sir-ee! I ain't holdin' no grudge. It's human to commit crime. I've committed one or two myself. Good luck to you, matey. Hope you make a barrel o' money with the old girl." "Thanks," the mate mumbled.
The terminal vowels softening his henchman's name were omitted in grave situations; so was the pirate lingo. "Do!" retorted Archie, his eyes snapping.

I says I'll be going along, and that I've spent a very pleasant afternoon with my old partner 'especially, says I, just to jostle Perry, 'during that game when the table legs came all loose. But I'd promised him not to let her know anything.
"Since yuh gotta know," he answered in a lowered tone, "there was two. About three months ago Jed Terry was scoutin' around back in the mountains, Lord knows what fur, an' fell into a cañon an' broke his skull. Four or five weeks arter that Sam Bennett was plugged through the chest down below Las Vegas." "Did Lynch happen to be with either of them?" "No, sir-ee," returned Daggett hastily.
'By godfreys, says I, 'if you can fix it so's I can prove that's true I'll give you the biggest order you ever got in this store. ''Twon't be any trouble to prove it, says he. 'All you've got to do is look up his record in Middleford. And I've looked it up. Yes, sir-ee, I've looked it up. Ho, ho!" Jed, white and shaking, made one more attempt. "It's all a lie," he cried. "Of course it is.
But that wan't all; no, sir, that wan't the worst of it." He paused, evidently expecting his hearer to make some comment. She was leaning forward, her eyes fixed upon his face, but she did not speak. Mr. Chase, judging by her expression that he had created the sensation which, as story-teller, he considered his due, went on. "No, sir-ee! that wan't the worst of it.
