"'Smatter?" snapped Seaton gravely. "Going to take it lying down, without putting up any fight at all?" "What can we do? Violence is contrary to our very natures.
By this time, however, I could smatter a little imperfect English; and I wanted to know as well as I could where we were going. Some of the people of the ship used to tell me they were going to carry me back to my own country, and this made me very happy. I was quite rejoiced at the sound of going back; and thought if I should get home what wonders I should have to tell.
This serves him for wit; for when he meets with any of his foreign acquaintances, all they smatter passes for wit, and they applaud one another accordingly. He believes this raggedness of his discourse a great demonstration of the improvement of his knowledge, as Inns-of-Court men intimate their proficiency in the law by the tatters of their gowns.
Then I smatter botany some. I'll let you look over my hortus siccus before you go. It has some very rare ferns; one of them is a new species, and Fungus who exchanges with me swore that he was going to have it named after me.

"Do I know who has?
What's smatter? exclaimed Spigot rushing in, rubbing his eyes with one hand, and holding a block tin candlestick in the other. 'Don't know how to do them here, sir, snapped Spigot.
