Presently I shall go over and settle things on that bark, but first I shall step down into the cabin and see what rare good things Sir Nightcap, the sugar-planter, has prepared for me." With this he went below, followed by the man he had brought with him. It was Dickory, half dazed by what he had heard, who now stepped up to Paul Bittern.
Certain also it is, that before the month was done, Will, with his living, kicking charges, and after more of these said tears from Mary than either of them had arithmetic enough to enable them to count, embarked at Leith for Richmond, at which place the sugar-planter had undertaken to meet him.
Ef yer can't pick cotton, yer'll be sol' down in Louzany to a sugar-plantation, whar' niggers don't git nothin' ter eat 'cept cotton-seeds an' a few dreggy lasses." Next to being sent to "the bad place" itself, the most terrible fate, to the negro's imagination, was to be sold to a sugar-planter.
It was obvious that it did Alister no harm that he had a friend in an officer of her Majesty's Service, and a comrade in the nephew of a sugar-planter of the uppermost level of Demerara society. We three held a fresh council as we sat with the young engineer. He and Alister got on admirably, and he threw himself into our affairs with wonderful kindness.
He laid his own hand tenderly upon his wife's in response to its warning pressure, yet turned to the sugar-planter and asked: "Sir, pardon; do I not explain truly?"

"Very good, very good, that's quite right," said Captain Ichabod hurriedly; "but before they come, I want to say that is, I would like you to know that I have sold my ship. I am not a pirate any longer, I am a sugar-planter, bedad.
About four o'clock we returned to Mr Martin's store, where we found his ketureen a sort of gig waiting, and also that of a Mr Finnie, another sugar-planter who was going to make one of the party. The skipper jumped in alongside of Mr Martin, I stowed myself away alongside his friend, and away we dashed up the sandy streets and out of town in the direction of the Blue Mountains.
"He thought," said Dickory, not in the least abashed by his reproof, "that the Revenge was commanded by your father, for he sprang upon the deck, shouting for the captain, and when he saw Blackbeard I heard him exclaim in surprise, 'A sugar-planter!" "And he would have killed my father?" said Kate, turning pale at the thought.
You are a defrauder and a cheat; you are nothing but a landsman, a plough-tail sugar-planter!" At this insult Bonnet rose to his feet and his hand went to his sword. "Sit down!" roared Blackbeard; "an you do not listen to me, I'll cut off this parley and your head together. Sit down, sir." Bonnet sat down, pale now and trembling with rage.
Round San Fernando, a Chinese will rent from a sugar-planter a bit of land which seems hopelessly infested with weeds, even of the worst of all sorts the creeping Para grass which was introduced a generation since, with some trouble, as food for cattle, and was supposed at first to be so great a boon that the gentleman who brought it in received public thanks and a valuable testimonial.
