"And was he saved?" cried Florence. "Was he saved?" "That brave lad," said the captain, "look at me, pretty! Don't look round " Florence had hardly power to repeat, "Why not?" "Because there's nothing there, my deary," said the captain. "Don't be took aback, pretty creetur! Don't for the sake of Wal'r as was dear to all on us!
'Though you're early, Wal'r, said the Captain, eyeing him still doubtfully, when they got upstairs: 'Why, the fact is, Captain Cuttle, said Walter, sitting down, 'I was afraid you would have gone out, and I want to benefit by your friendly counsel. 'So you shall, said the Captain; 'what'll you take? 'I want to take your opinion, Captain Cuttle, returned Walter, smiling.
All's well, all's well, my dear. As I was a saying Wal'r he's he's drownded. Ain't he? Florence looked at him intently; her colour came and went; and she laid her hand upon her breast. 'There's perils and dangers on the deep, my beauty, said the Captain; 'and over many a brave ship, and many and many a bould heart, the secret waters has closed up, and never told no tales.
'If you was to take and show that man the buoy at the Nore, said Captain Cuttle in the same tone, 'and ask him his opinion of it, Wal'r, he'd give you an opinion that was no more like that buoy than your Uncle's buttons are. There ain't a man that walks certainly not on two legs that can come near him. Not near him!
'Wal'r, my lad, hinted the Captain, with some revival of his discomfiture, 'ain't there no other character as 'Oh! returned Walter, 'would you have me die in her esteem in such esteem as hers and put a veil between myself and her angel's face for ever, by taking advantage of her being here for refuge, so trusting and so unprotected, to endeavour to exalt myself into her lover? What do I say?
He is old, Captain Cuttle; and besides, his life is a life of custom 'Steady, Wal'r! Of a want of custom? said the Captain, suddenly reappearing. 'Too true, returned Walter, shaking his head: 'but I meant a life of habit, Captain Cuttle that sort of custom. 'Of his Nevy, interposed the Captain. 'Right!
Where's that there man's spirit, all afire, that wouldn't see the old man hove down for a minute, and cared nothing for itself? Gone down with Wal'r. It ain't one Wal'r. There was a dozen Wal'rs that I know'd and loved, all holding round his neck when he went down, and they're a-holding round mine now! Mr Toots sat silent: folding and refolding the newspaper as small as possible upon his knee.
The Captain, meanwhile, who seemed to have quite forgotten his own dinner, laid down his knife and fork, and drew his chair to the sofa. 'Wal'r was a trim lad, warn't he, precious? said the Captain, after sitting for some time silently rubbing his chin, with his eyes fixed upon her, 'and a brave lad, and a good lad? Florence tearfully assented.
'Wal'r Gay it is, replied the Captain, 'right! The Captain's manner expressed a warm approval of Mr Carker's quickness of perception. 'I'm a intimate friend of his and his Uncle's. Perhaps, said the Captain, 'you may have heard your head Governor mention my name? Captain Cuttle. 'No! said Mr Carker, with a still wider demonstration than before.
'Oh, I'm very sorry to intrude with anyone, Sir, cried Walter, hastily: 'but this is this is Captain Cuttle, Sir. 'Wal'r, my lad, observed the Captain in a deep voice: 'stand by!
