He allowed that Mr Clare seemed a very respectable sort of fellow, but then he said "I can't join in all the praise you boys give him; now my idea of a `regular brick' is our `salt tute. He's the sort of man for me. If Captain Mugford only knew Latin and Greek!" Mr Clare was from the north of England.
‘I don’t dislike you—I dislike no one; there’s only one, and him I don’t dislike, him I hate.’ ‘Who is he?’ ‘I scarcely know, I never saw him, but ’tis no affair of yours, you don’t speak Rommany; you will let me have the kekaubi, pretty brother?’ ‘You may have it, but not for sixpence; I’ll give it to you.’ ‘Parraco tute, that is, I thank you, brother; the rikkeni kekaubi is now mine. O, rare!
Yeckorus a tano Gorgio chivved apre a shubo an' jalled to a puri Rommany dye to get dukkered. And she pookered lester, "Tute'll rummorben a Fair Man with kauli yakkas." Then the raklo delled laki yeck shukkori an' penned, "If this shukkori was as boro as the hockaben tute pukkered mandy, tute might porder sar the bongo tem with rupp."
Rono could not be so cruel and unjust; and Tute, as they called Cook, immediately sunk in their estimation to the rank of ordinary mortals. He was henceforth feared as a mighty chief, but venerated no longer. This change of sentiment was very evident when he returned hither from his voyage northward.
All'ers haw sar the habben foki banders apre a tute, an' tute'll jal sikker men dush an' tukli. Once a young man courted three girls together, and none of the three knew he was courting the two others. And that youth lived in a little place near the side of the great salt water, and one night all the girls came at once together to him, and none of the girls knew the others were coming there.
Another somewhat similar chevron bears the words, "Robert tute consule x. d. s.", but who Robert was it is impossible to say. Henry I had a son Robert, Earl of Gloucester, who is spoken of as "Consul"; he it was who fought for his half-sister Maud against Stephen.
"I don't dislike you I dislike no one; there's only one, and him I don't dislike, him I hate." "Who is he?" "I scarcely know, I never saw him, but 'tis no affair of yours, you don't speak Rommany; you will let me have the kekaubi, pretty brother?" "You may have it, but not for sixpence, I'll give it to you." "Parraco tute, that is, I thank you, brother; the rikkeni kekaubi is now mine. O, rare!
With the Captain things went differently, much to our amusement; for our salt tute cared not how much we laughed at his failures, which all his shots were. He brought up his gun as if it were a harpoon, and always gave it a jerk, to help it shoot farther, when he pulled the trigger.
While he tooled the gry a rani pookered him, "Rikker this trushni to my ker, an' I'll del tute a trin grushi." So he lelled a chavo to tool the gry, and pookered lester, "Tute shall get pash the wongur."
And to see the best of good skippers as our dear old salt tute was let himself down in a right angle after that on the deck, his back against the weather-side of the mast, and, heaving a sigh of vast internal satisfaction, draw out his pipe slowly, as if it was a ceremony too precious to be hurried, and, having put it just right in his lips and lighted it, puff the first long sweet wreaths of smoke; ah! that was a picture of creature happiness.
