You know yer pals when you see 'em, don't yer, mate?" he went on, addressing Bill, who was contemplating the finger with one half-closed eye. "Good-bye, boy," said the parrot, evading the point. "Jear that?" cried Henry delightedly.
Kent at last managed to articulate, raising a shaking forefinger to the ghastly scar which seamed the other's cheek. "Shipmate stove me down with a marlin-spike from the main-royal.

Yes, he trod on my toes, I don't feel right yet, and when any fellow does that to me, why there ain't no mistake about it, his time is out and the sentence is come to pass. He begged for his life, oh, it was piteous to see him.
"Did it 'it you in the 'ead, sir?" he asked, panting. "Exactly," replied the young man, grinding his teeth. Sparks 'oped as 'ow it didn't 'urt the gentleman. The gentleman stanched his wound in terrible silence. Presently Ferdinand came back to report upon the availability of the family plumber.

"Stand back, you chaps," he growled, "stand back or I'll 'urt some on ye; be ye all a lot o' dogs to set on an' worry one as is all alone?" And then, turning to me, "What be the matter wi' the fools, Peter?"
"If dey's qviet un' reasonable I don't 'urt nobotty but yoost tell 'em git out of here, tarn qvick," he projected. "But if dem mens is up to anything rough I hope dey says dere prayers alretty, because I yoost bust 'em all up, you bet." The team was pulling hard, the breaths coming out in swift little puffs from their nostrils.
'Na, Tom, thank yer; I can't do thet neither. 'Yer might as well, Liza; it wouldn't 'urt yer. 'Na, it wouldn't be right like; I can't come aht with yer, and then mean nothin'! It would be doin' yer aht of an outing. 'I don't see why, he said, very crestfallen. 'I can't go on keepin' company with you after what I said last night. 'I shan't enjoy it a bit without you, Liza.
"There! it wonna urt you, my dear," he said soothingly. "Too suddint." A tricorne rose over the bulwark. An officer cast his eyes up and down the deck, swift and alert as a bird. "Anybody alife on board?" he repeated, and in the vast silence his voice came small and very shrill. He clambered over the bulwark, and came up the steep deck monkey-wise.
