Pursue your own course, Signor Vice-governatore, and satisfy all your scruples, in your own manner. How shall this be done will you go on board ze Ving-and-Ving, and look for yourself send this honorable magistrate, or shall I show you my commission?

"I do not see, Vito, but this is reasonable. If the capitano, now, only had his commission with him, you and I might go to bed in peace, and sleep till morning."
"And the name of your lugger, Signor Capitano Smeet?" suspending his pen over the paper in expectation of the answer. "Ze Ving-and-Ving"; pronouncing the w's in a very different way from what they had been sounded in answering the hails.
