Master does not wish to be obliged to M. Daniels and, besides, he, too, does not get in the cash for his company any too rapidly. Master ran into debt while making his guns and cannon, and we have been pinched for ready money." "I am glad to hear it!" ejaculated Césarine, without spitefulness, and with more sincerity than she had spoken previously. The girl stared without understanding.
And she went on muttering to herself with the wayward spitefulness of age "They maun hae lordships and honours, nae doubt set them up, the gutter-bloods! and deil a gentleman amang them."

Their hardness of heart came not from God, but the Prophet. They were only carrying out the edicts of their "priests of a bloody faith." In vain did the old man-o'-war's-man cry out "belay" and "avast". In vain did he "shiver his timbers", and appeal against their scurvy treatment by looks, words, and gesture.
