He thought of his nephew and was about to plead that Jack be sent along with him when Blackbeard demanded: "What of the boy? He takes my eye. No pursy swine of a lawyer could sire a lad of his brawn and inches." "I am Master Cockrell," Jack answered for himself, "and I would have you more courteous to my worthy uncle."
"Well, sit down, an' don't offer to say a word unless you hear me goin' out. Sure maybe I disremember it altogether." Roseen sat down obediently and fixed her eyes on the old man's face. "Wanst upon a time," began Dan, with a twinkle in his eye, "the pigs were swine." Roseen gave an impatient wriggle. "Well, well, it's too bad to be tormentin' ye that way. I'll begin right now.
In summer they only wear a single garment of silk, or some such light dress, but they have no turbans. Their common food is rice, which they eat frequently with a broth made of meat or fish, like that used by the Arabs, and which they pour upon the rice.

"Thou seest, Sir Friar, yon herd of Saxon swine, who have dared to environ this castle of Torquilstone Tell them whatever thou hast a mind of the weakness of this fortalice, or aught else that can detain them before it for twenty-four hours.

It didn't seem to be a popular subject in that cafe. One big blue-black fellow said that Maritz was a dirty swine who would soon be hanged.
