"Oh yes," said Father Brachet, smiling, and arresting the impetuous movement. "Ziz is part of it." "Well," said the Boy, still hesitating, "they are sorry, you know, really sorry." "You sink so?" The question rang a little sceptically. "Yes, I do, and I'm in a position to know.
It warn't long, afore whir! ziz! ziz! came somethin' what made a mighty splashin', and looked savagarous, square across her stern sheets. Pluck reckoned how the Britisher had got his dander up, and about cleverest thing would be to round to, seem' how the feller was wastin' his shot, and sendin' things what might save a body the trouble of puttin' on a night-cap about bedtime.
"Horses!" exclaimed the quack; "these are not horses. These are boneyards. Every one of them is as much worse than mine as mine is than the black stallion you stole in Pittsburg on the twenty-first day of last October." "Worze zan yourz!
