If the ship came up in the day-time, at six o'clock in the evening he'd be at the wharf gate waiting for me; and if it came up at night she was no sooner made fast than 'e was over the side patting my trouser-pocket and saying wot a good job it was for both of us that I was in steady employment. Week arter week and month arter month I went on paying.
His fingers twitched a little eagerly, and he looked sullenly at his tactless junior. "Get out!" "Huh?" "Get outa here!" "Don't want to get out of here," said Ogden with finality.

There was no shadow of excuse. But he was a boy again; fifty years had slipped off his shoulders. And I know not what came of the salmon, but it left the water; nor do I know what the watcher said who came over the hill inopportunely.

"My memory ain't what it used to be," said the farmer. "Howsomever, I dare say it'll turn up in a day or two." "You you'd better force the door," suggested Mr. Quince, struggling to preserve an air of judicial calm. "No, no," said Mr.
