W'en 'e makes up 'is mind to a thing you know 'e sticks to it, for 'e's a tough un; an' 'e's got sitch a wheedlin' sort o' way with 'im that I can't 'elp givin' in a'most. So, you see, it'll be better for both of us that I should go away.
"A man who can't mend a hole in his own donkey can never demean himself by patching up my great kettle." "Lord, sir!" said the tinker, archly, "if I had known that poor Neddy had had two sitch friends in court, I'd have seen he vas a gintleman, and treated him as sitch." "Corpo di Bacco!" quoth the doctor, "though that jest's not new, I think the tinker comes very well out of it."
"Yes, at the end of the street; and oh, you've no idea what an awful time I was about it; the slit was so high, an' I come down sitch a cropper w'en it was done!" "But it went in all right?" "Yes, all right." George Aspel sat for some moments in gloomy silence.
"It seems to me, Johnson," said Robin, "that in strict justice the booty belongs to Letta, Meerta, and blind Bungo, as the natural heirs o' the pirates." "But they're not the heirs, they are part of the booty," said the seaman, "and, as sitch, falls to be divided among us."
Come, Joe Dumsby, strike up," cried one of the men. O'Connor, who was one of the most reckless of men in regard to duty and propriety, here shook his head gravely, and took upon himself to read his comrade a lesson. "Ye shouldn't talk o' sitch things in workin' hours," said he. "Av we wos all foolish, waake-hidded cratures like you, how d'ye think we'd iver git the lighthouse sot up!
Hofficers ob de Brish navy got notting else to do but kotch an' hang sitch varmints. Eh? I's right?" "Well, no," returned Captain Fitzgerald, laughing, "not altogether right as to the duties of officers of the British navy. However, you're right as to my object, and I see that this pirate is no friend of yours." "No friend, oh! no not at all. Him's far more nor dat.
"'More power to your elbow, Paddy, my boy, says he, 'for sitch a good wish, and throth it's myself wishes the same. "'Och, says I, 'that it may plaze you, sweet queen iv heaven, supposing it was only a dissolute island, says I, 'inhabited wid Turks, sure they wouldn't be such bad Christians as to refuse us a bit and a sup.
All I know is, that he is said to govern the country well." "Coorious," said Johnson; "I shouldn't like to settle down in sitch a nest o' pirates. Hows'ever, every man to his taste, as Jack said when the shark swallowed his sou'-wester. D'ee think it's likely, sir, that we'll find out who the parents o' poor Miss Letta is?" Robin shook his head. "I'm not very hopeful.
He was a miserable specimen o' human natur' all the worse that he had a pretty stout body o' his own, an' might have made a fairish man if he'd had the spirit even of a cross-grained rabbit. His name was Miffy, an' it sounded nat'ral to him, for there was no go in him whatever. I often wonder what sitch men was made for. They're o' no use to anybody, an' a nuisance to themselves."
"I say, youngster, would you like a cup o' chocolate?" began Willie by way of recalling to the boy their former meeting. Jim, whose face wore a sad and dispirited look, turned angrily and said, "Come, I don't want none o' your sauce!" "It ain't sauce I'm talkin' of, it's chocolate," retorted Willie. "But come, Jim, I don't want to bother ye. I'm sorry to see you an yer dad in sitch a fix.
