"I don't know about that, but I saved his life," answered Ned, "and I feel an interest in him; he seems grateful too, as far as I can judge." He then asked the Arab, who was sitting near him, whether he would have some more water, and handed him the cup, which was full. "T'ankee, t'ankee!" answered the Arab; "much t'ankee!" Ned then gave him some more sopped biscuit.
Still Ned did not give up hopes of being rescued, but continued energetically treading water, and speaking in as cheerful a tone as he could command to keep up the spirits of the young Arab. "Me understand, t'ankee, t'ankee," said the latter at last. Still Stone could make but slow progress, and Ned began to fear that his own strength might become exhausted before the canoe could reach him.
Lawrence will dine with us this evening, Manuela, so you'd better see to having covers laid for three or, perhaps, for four. It may be that Senhor Quashy will honour us with " "T'ankee, kurnel, you's bery kind, but I's got a prebious engagement." "A previous engagement, eh?" repeated the colonel, much tickled with the excuse.
"And that is quite enough, my good woman; that everything may be in rule, I give my consent now, and most cheerfully." "T'ankee, sah!" dropping a curtsey, and showing her teeth. "Of course the ceremony was performed by our excellent rector, good Mr. Hardinge?" "Sartain, sah no Clawbonny nigger t'ink he marry at all, 'less Masser Hardinge bless him and say Amen.
"T'ankee, suh," said Neb, reaching for the weed the Colonel now held toward him. "Lawsy, ain't dat jus' a whoppuh? Whah you-all git sech mon'sous big cigahs as dat?" "I'm only smoking half as many, now, so I get 'em double size," the Colonel answered, sighing but not wholly miserable. Neb did not see the humor of this detail. He was thinking of the race and of Queen Bess.
She shrank back into a window recess, too embarrassed to face him without first pausing to gather up her courage. "Put 'em there, Neb," said the Colonel, pointing to the table, and then, after the packages had been arranged to suit him: "Here, take this, and drink to the jockey that rode Queen Bess." "T'ankee, Marse Cunnel, t'ankee," Neb replied, pocketing the tip.
