At length the Captain burst out of the door with the suddenness of an explosion, and coming towards him at a great pace, and never once looking over his shoulder, pretended, as soon as they were well out of the street, to whistle a tune. 'Uncle much hove down, Wal'r? inquired the Captain, as they were walking along. 'I am afraid so.
At these words Captain Cuttle, as by an involuntary gesture, clapped his hand to his head, on which the hard glazed hat was not, and looked discomfited. 'No, Heart's-delight, said Captain Cuttle, 'I am not afeard. Wal'r is a lad as'll go through a deal o' hard weather. Wal'r is a lad as'll bring as much success to that 'ere brig as a lad is capable on.
'Wal'r! said the Captain at last. 'I've got it. 'Have you, Captain Cuttle? cried Walter, with great animation. 'Come this way, my lad, said the Captain. 'The stock's the security. I'm another. Your governor's the man to advance money. 'Mr Dombey! faltered Walter. The Captain nodded gravely. 'Look at him, he said. 'Look at Gills. If they was to sell off these things now, he'd die of it.
Finally, the Captain left off biting his nails, and said, 'Now, Wal'r, my boy, you may help me on with them slops. By which the Captain meant his coat and waistcoat.
There is no one in the world who would be more opposed to me if I could do so, than you. 'Wal'r, my lad, said the Captain, drooping more and more, 'prowiding as there is any just cause or impediment why two persons should not be jined together in the house of bondage, for which you'll overhaul the place and make a note, I hope I should declare it as promised and wowed in the banns.
Wal'r, said the Captain, his eyes glistening with the praise of his young friend, and his hook raised to announce a beautiful quotation, 'is what you may call a out'ard and visible sign of an in'ard and spirited grasp, and when found make a note of.
But, being what he was and is, I hope I can't believe it. 'Wal'r, my lad, inquired the Captain, wistfully eyeing him as he pondered and pondered, 'what do you make of it, then? 'Captain Cuttle, returned Walter, 'I don't know what to make of it. I suppose he never has written! There is no doubt about that?
The Captain immediately drew Walter into a corner, and with a great effort, that made his face very red, pulled up the silver watch, which was so big, and so tight in his pocket, that it came out like a bung. 'Wal'r, said the Captain, handing it over, and shaking him heartily by the hand, 'a parting gift, my lad.
'Why ay, my lady lass, I've seen my share of bad weather, said the Captain, tremulously wiping his head, 'and I've had my share of knocking about; but but it ain't of myself as I was a meaning to speak. Our dear boy, drawing closer to her, 'Wal'r, darling, as was drownded.
'And then, said the Captain, in his hoarse whisper, and tapping Mr Toots on the chest with the back of his hand, and falling from him with a look of infinite admiration, 'what follers? That there pretty creetur, as delicately brought up as a foreign bird, goes away upon the roaring main with Wal'r on a woyage to China! 'Lord, Captain Gills! said Mr Toots. 'Ay! nodded the Captain.
