'Nay, hold, friend, said Joshua, 'thou hast not yet told me what name and surname I am to call thee by. 'D d sly in the Quaker, said Nanty, apart, 'to make him pay for his liquor before he gives it him. Now, I am such a fool, that I should have let him get too drunk to open his mouth, before I thought of asking him a question.
Fairford, though uneasy in his mind at finding himself, a lawyer, so close to a character so lawless, thought it best, nevertheless, to put a good face on the matter, and asked Mr. Ewart, with as much unconcern as he could assume, 'whether he was fortunate as a rover? 'No, no d n it, no, replied Nanty; 'the devil a crumb of butter was ever churned that would stick upon my bread.
At this moment a noise was heard from withinside of the house, and presently rushed forth Peter Peebles, pursued by Nanty Ewart with his drawn hanger, and the worthy Quaker, who was endeavouring to prevent mischief to others, at some risk of bringing it on himself.
'Why, aye, ma'am, answered Ewart, 'they call the brig so at Dunkirk, sure enough; but along shore here, they call her the JUMPING JENNY. 'You brought over the holy Father Buonaventure, did you not? 'Aye, aye, madam, I have brought over enough of them black cattle, answered Nanty.

"They will have his nut off," la Pouraille went on; "he was booked for the scaffold two months ago."

'It has cut my back-bone asunder, he said; 'you have done me the last good office, and I will not die ungrateful.
'How many rogues are the officers? If not more than ten, I will make fight. 'The devil you will! answered Crackenthorp. 'You were better not, for they have the bloody-backed dragoons from Carlisle with them. 'Nay, then, said Nanty, 'we must make sail. Come, Master Fairlord, you must mount and ride. He does not hear me he has fainted, I believe What the devil shall I do?
Ewart, said Fairford, 'you live chiefly with men too deeply interested for their own immediate safety, to think much upon the distress of others? 'And with whom do you yourself consort, I pray? replied Nanty, smartly.
