Well, Alice, I am told that there's been a lot of them landed on the island and took to chasin' and killin' the niggers, and Henry was all but killed by one o' the niggers this very morning, an' was saved by a big feller that's a mystery to me, and by the Grampus, who is the best feller I ever met, a regular trump, he is; and there's all sorts o' doubts, and fears, and rumors, and things of that sort, with a captain of the British navy, that you and I have read so much about, trying to find this pirate out, and suspectin' everybody he meets is him.
"Yes," answered Curry, "an' I've a'ready told you that you can't prove anything on Pitkin. You may suspect that somebody switched them colts on you, but unless " "'Scuse me, suh," interrupted Gabe, "but I got beyon' suspectin' it now. I knows it was done." "You don't say!" "Yes, suh, I got the proof.
I got it all figgered out. It's lucky fer me the nabobs is rich, or they couldn't stan' the strain. Now, mar, ef ye want to see yer son a nabob hisself, some day, jes' think up a good name fer a detective." "Sherholmes Locke," she said after some reflection. "No; this 'ere story's got ter be original. I thought o' callin' him Suspectin' Algernon. Detectives is allus suspectin' something."
"What 'ud you think if there was sich a thing as revinge in the world? I'm not suspectin' any one, but at the same time, a woman's revinge is the worst and deepest of all revinges. You know very well that she suspects you and, indeed, so does the world." "But very wrongly, you know, Anthony," replied the baronet, with a smile dark as murder.
Nobody that's in on a murder deal is going to frame a lie that sticks his bean as close to a noose as Walter's would be if he's not tellin' the truth!" "Sounds reasonable; and yet " "I'm surprised at you suspectin' the kid." "I don't suspect him." "But you said " "We can't overlook anything that's what I said. It's what I was driving at, anyway.
I dare say you kin give me p'ints, ef ye cared to, for all ye're soft spoken. There are only four passengers booked through; we hev to be a little partikler, suspectin' spies! Two of the four ye kin depend upon to get the top o' their d d heads blowed off the first fire," he added grimly.
"Guess it wouldn't spoil, sir," says I, switchin' off the duflicker. "Good!" says he. "I think I can employ your peculiar talents to better advantage for the next few hours. I trust that you are prepared to face the British War Office?" Suspectin' that he's about to indulge in his semi-annual josh, I only grins expectant.
"An' I won't be suspectin' people any mo' an' none of 'em will be my enemy. I'll not be carryin' pistols an' havin' buckets of gold an' not a friend in the worl'." His heart beat fast he could scarcely wait for the morning to come, so anxious was he to begin the life of an honest man again.
Martin inquired, "How did it happen, Seth, that you threw away your money on that lottery scamp, when we showed you that the whole thing was a cheat?" "Wall, neow, arter it's all lost," replied Seth, "I'll tell yeou jest heow 'twas. Human natur' is naturally suspectin'. I tho't yeou and that ar' t'other postoffis fellah want'd to git the prize for yeourselfs; an' I didn't mean to be beat so."
"Well, I guess I'm suspectin' that you're tryin' to make a fool of me, all right." "Oh no! Fools come ready-made, and there's a glut in the market just now; seven eight nine ten; no use makin' more until the supply's exhausted. But what made you think you wanted to marry? This is so powerful sudden."
