"The Don's goin' to get under way, Cap'n, I du believe," hailed Dyer from the foretop where he was still perched. "Do 'e see his men swarmin' aloft?" "Ay, ay; I see them," answered George. "Well, let him come, if so be he will. I would rather fight him here than where he is now, where he could receive the support of his friends. Do you see any sign of galleys anywhere about, Mr Dyer?"
Maybe 'tis a dead whale, yet I don't exactly think it. I've passed to leeward of a dead whale, wi' a cloud o' gulls and what not feedin' upon un, and the smell was different from this; just so strong, but different, and if my memory sarves me even wuss. And if 'twas a whale, the gulls'd be swarmin' about un, fillin' the air wi' their cries, but I don't hear a sound.
They was swarmin' fore an' aft like a lot o' scared seal wavin' their arms, shakin' their fists, jabberin', leapin' about in the wash o' the seas that broke over the bows. "'Docks, says the skipper, 'what's the matter with they folk, anyhow? We isn't draggin', is we? says he, half cryin'. 'We isn't hurtin' they, is we?
A fine fighter, but treecherous like em all.... Funny thing no one on deck only him. Swarmin with men too, I'll lay." The French skipper too was at the wheel: a dapper little personage, black-a-vised, with fierce moustachios and eye-tufts. He wore a huge tricorne, and vast tawdry epaulettes. "How do you, sair?" he called, all bows and smiles and teeth, as the two ships came within biscuit-toss.
There's bin an onusual swarmin' o' rats in the ship of late, an' Davie Summers has had a riglar hunt after them. The lad has becum more than ornar expert with his bow an' arrow, for he niver misses now exceptin', always, when he dusn't hit an' for the most part takes them on the pint on the snowt with his blunt-heded arow, which he drives in the snowt, not the arow.
The Little Maid sot silently lookin' out into the dirty, dretful court-yard, swarmin' with ragged children in every form of dirt and discomfort, squalor and vice. She had never seen anything of the kind before in her guarded, love-watched life. She didn't know that there wuz such things in the world.
Here, Rob, tak the cratur, an' pit a tow aboot its neck, an' a stane to the tow, an' fling't into the Glamour." Annie, not waiting to parley, darted from the house with the kitten. "Rin efter her, Rob," said Bruce, "an' tak' it frae her, and droon't. We canna hae the hoose swarmin'." Bob bolted after her, delighted with his commission.
"Bees is swarmin'!" said Ben, thrusting his head in at the kitchen door, and immediately disappearing again. "Bother the bees!" exclaimed Mrs Greenways crossly. But on Molly the news had a different effect. It was counted lucky to be present at the housing of a new swarm.
Just what it was, though, we didn't know. I didn't get cold feet either, until the concert is all over and the folks begun swarmin' around the stage to pass over the hot-air congratulations. But Miss Hampton wa'n't content to stand there quiet and take 'em. She seems to have something on her mind, and the next thing I knew she was pikin' down the steps right towards the middle aisle.
Why ever should they want to go swarmin' now in that contrairy way?" She opened the oven door and took out the bread as she spoke. "Now, don't you go running off, Lilac," she continued. "There's enough of 'em out there to settle all the bees as ever was. You get your uncle's tea and take it out, and Peter's too. They won't neither of 'em be in till supper. Hurry now."
