"Hullo, you young vaggybones," he screeched out with a hiccup; "where be ye off ter now, hey?" We made no answer to this, only quickening our pace; and he staggered after us waveringly, wheezing out in broken accents, "I knows you, Master Bantam, I does, and you Tom Larkyns; and I'll tell the Doctor, I will, sure sure sure-ly."
"Be her a real ship, Master Bob?" asked Dick, having another peep at the suspicious object and still not quite convinced as yet. "Sure-ly?" "Of course she is, I tell you," cried Bob. "Look out now and let go the jib-sheet as I luff up. I'm going to lay-to, for the ship is coming up with us rapidly and will run us down if we don't take care!"
"And what-like nature o' a nag may this Tod be?" he asked, speaking with so easy a familiarity, and holding the pewter so invitingly that Ned Blossom responded as to an old friend. "Gradely bit o' stuff sure-ly," he replied. "And do love to fill his collar; but sulky-like he's been on t' road this day, wi' Fancy doin' nowt to share."
If it hadn't been for that old heathen scoundrel Gattrie, my poor boy Phil, as the Injuns killed, and me, I reckon, would have sent him and young Grantham to crack their puns upon the fishes of the lake. How scared they were, sure-LY." "Silence, fellow!" thundered Gerald Grantham, who now came up from the hold, whither he had been to examine the fastenings prepared for his prisoner.
"Why, old chap, they couldn't see us! The fog would prevent them!" "Lor', so her would!" assented Dick, unable to gainsay this argument. "I forgets that, I did, sure-ly!" After a time, Bob's sobs ceased and he began to think of something else; something that affected him, for the moment, even more strongly than his fears. "I'm awfully hungry, Dick," he said.
"Sure-ly," said the man. "But I'd a sight rather 'arn two," he added. "I'll give you two. I have not got much money, but I'll certainly give you two shillings if you'll help me now. I have got a little baby here a dear little baby, but she's rather heavy. I am running away with her to revenge myself on somebody.
'Why, then I shall be returning home to-night your way, he says, 'when I thought you'd be coming in an exactly opposite direction. That's capital!

Ye're old an' fagged out, an' yer face speaks a bit o' trouble that's enuff for me. Hi' y' are! hi' y' are, old 'Trusty Man!"
Panting, I watched it rise, rise, rise, and then plunge down to earth in a smother of dust. "'E've beat it!" cried the Ancient, flourishing his stick excitedly. "Lord love me, 'e've beat it!" "Ay, 'e've beat it, sure-ly," said a man who carried a rake that was forever getting in everybody's way. "An' by a goodish bit to!" shouted another.
Eden hadn't need to go a-begging yet, sir, remarked the General. 'It is an awful lovely place, sure-ly. And frightful wholesome, likewise! said Mr Kettle, who had made himself a party to this conversation as a matter of course.
