Creede looked as if he were sick of his case, and told that man that he would like further consultation with him before proceeding further and they went away. But every time I see that man he acts as if he wanted to talk with me, and smiles at me but I won't look at him. Oh, why can't they all be good like you, Teunis?"
They made him work his passage, and every mean and dirty job there was to do, he had to do it. They took his clothes away from him, and, while they lasted, the skipper had three shirts at once, which hadn't happened afore since he served his term in the Sydney jail. And he was such a COMFORT to 'em. Whenever the dinner wa'n't cooked right, instead of blaming Teunis, they took it out of Rosy.
But I don't believe as she does or did about things that have happened to you since since we parted and got to be strangers, Teunis. And neither does any one else, nor she herself any more. People respect you, Teunis. I wanted to say that to you, too, before you go away maybe forever, Teunis!"

Mrs. Teunis Van Dam straightened rigidly in her chair. "I fear that, after all, I must particularize," she replied. "Obviously you can't know the truth of things."
Julius, who was mate, was roosting on the lee rail amid-ships, helping him swear. And old Teunis Van Doozen, a Dutchman from Java or thereabouts, who was cook, was setting on a stool by the galley door ready to heave in a word whenever 'twas necessary. The Kanakas was doing the work. That was the usual division of labor aboard the Emily.
She could hardly present the matter to Shelby in this light, as she had withheld all mention of the Ludlow business from his ear; but with a generosity which astonished herself, she dwelt on Mrs. Teunis Van Dam's undoubted prestige, and ended by advising acceptance.
