"Will you fight if he agrees to meet you?" "Yaw." "All right. There can't be any backing out now, understand that. You are in for a fight, if Gallup doesn't apologize." "Yaw; but you mighd influence him to abologize uf you couldt, ain'd id?" "It would not be proper to bring any undue influence to bear on him. I shall carry your challenge to him immediately."
"The devil you did! Was it in good Dutch?" "I do not understand much of the language," said Mr. Dodge, hesitatingly; for all he knew, in truth, was yaw and nein, and neither of these particularly well; "but it looked to be uncommonly well expressed. I could do no more than pay a man to translate it. But to return to this affair of running in among the Scilly Islands such a night as this."
Then he raised his head, and called in a whisper to Miss Prescott: "I say dere." "Well! what is it?" she responded, rising. "You ishn't ashleep bees you?" "No, I am ready."

"There were present, of course," he said, "nearly all the great electrical and engineering lights of the day, also the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge, with a lot of aristocrats, whom it is not necessary to mention in the presence of a democratic sea-dog like uncle Rik." "Don't yaw about to defame me, but keep to your course, Sam."

We had almost despaired of escaping, when fortunately one of our shot brought down the advanced frigate’s fore topsail yard, and we soon found we were leaving her. The second yawed, and gave us a broadside; only two of her shot took effect by striking near the fore channels. Her yaw saved us, as we gained on her considerably. The wind had become light, which still further favoured us.
While down below, "Yaw! quite enough of that;" "Mary Jane, cover your throat up, and don't kitch cold, and don't push me, please, sir;" "Arry! coom along and ave a pint a ale," etc., are the remarks heard, or perhaps not heard, by Clive Newcome, as he watches at the private entrance of the Athenaeum, where Sir Barnes's carriage is waiting with its flaming lamps, and domestics in state liveries.
