But de black poy haf run after de tog, ant he vas run so fast as nefer you saw. Vare you leetle vootshucks coom from, eh? You climb oonder mein pasture?" "No use, Abe," said Mart Penniman. "We've missed that woodchuck this time." "We've found the cave, though," said Pete Corry. "It's through that he got away from us so many times." "I dell you vat," said Mr.
"I look everywhere, I no find te tog. Den de dog is dead?" "Yes," replied Vanslyperken, "but I'll punish the scoundrel, depend upon it. That will do, corporal; you may go." As Snarleyyow remained perfectly quiet during this conversation, we must give Vanslyperken great credit for his manoeuvre. The corporal went to Smallbones, and repeated what had passed. Smallbones snapped his fingers.
"Well, then," replied Jemmy, "will you shy the dog overboard?" "Te tog? in one minute and de master after him." Whereupon Corporal Van Spitter went down into the cabin, which Vanslyperken, trusting to his surveillance, had left unlocked, and seizing the cur by the neck, carried him on deck, and hurled him several yards over the cutter's quarter. "Mein Gott! but dat is well done," observed Jansen.
Bring him into the cabin." Here the corporal, who was prepared, shook his head, smoothed down the hair of his forehead, and made a very melancholy face. "It was all my fault, Mynheer Vanslyperken; yet I do for the best, but te tog be lost." "How is that, corporal?"
"But the loss of blood what must be done to stop the bleeding?" "Dat damn woman Moggy, when I say te tog die tog bleed to death, she say, tell Mynheer Vanslyperken dat de best ting for cure de cur be de red hot poker." Here Vanslyperken stamped his feet and swore horribly. "She say, mynheer, it stop all de bleeding." "I wish she had a hot poker down her body," exclaimed Vanslyperken, bitterly.
I went to Vedder, and he sez thar's a book what's called The Little Minister, and I could rent yer surplus and tog out in it. He said you would take tucks in it fer me." "Sure I will. I'll fix it now while you wait, Pete." "Say, Amarilly, I thought as how, seein' we are both in the perfesshun, sorter, you'd come down on your price." "Sure thing, Pete. I won't charge you nothin' fer it."
The seaman finished his legend, and there was a dead silence for a minute or two, broken first by Jansen, who in a low voice said, "Then te tog is not a tog." "No," replied Coble, "an imp sent by the devil to his follower in distress." "Yes," said Short.
Every one was in a bad humour when the affair was made known; but Smallbones observed, "that the dog could be no such great friend, as supposed, of Vanslyperken's, to thwart his interests in that way; and certainly no imp sent by the devil to his assistance." The ship's company were consoled with this idea, and Jansen again repeated, "that the tog was but a tog, after all."
I'm old enough to be your father's brother, and I've a daughter older than you, and I'll tog you out in fripperies when we get to Dawson if it takes my last dollar." "When we get to Dawson!" The scorn had come back to her throat with a sudden surge. "You'll rot on the way, first. You'll drown in a mudhole. You you Britishers!"
"Hear, mamma! He knows my name!" It was the first compliment she had ever received from the lips of love. "It is goot, madame! he is ver moch relieft; he ver soon get over now. Keep away, mine goot Alp! Your master he get well: goot tog, down!" "Perhaps, doctor, we should leave him. The noise " "No, no! if you please, stay with me. The music; will you play again?"
