On the fifth day their returns were more than trebled, and that evening the directors of the "R'yal Bank o' Calyforny" found themselves in possession of capital amounting to one thousand one hundred and fifty dollars, or, as Tom Collins carefully explained to Bill, about 230 pounds.
The 'squire complained awfully of a minister's prayin' for the king and r'yal family, when the country was fightin' 'em." "In that, the Rev. Mr. Woods only obeys orders," said the serjeant. "But they say not. The orders is gone out, now, they pretend, for no man to pray for any on 'em." "Ay orders from the magistrates, perhaps. But the Rev. Mr.
"There was three Buddhist Lascars in my watch, and what did they do when them chaps come aboard? Why, they down on their stomachs and rubbed their noses on the deck that's what they did. They wouldn't ha' done as much for an admiral of the R'yal Navy. They know who's who these niggers do; and I smelt mischief the moment I saw them on their faces.
Say, Ros," he laid his hand on my shoulder and bent to whisper in my ear: "Say, Ros," he said, "I'm glad to see you're takin' my advice." "Taking your advice?" I repeated, puzzled.

Constable Zeburee Nute, emerging at a brisk trot from the town office, had a warning word of counsel for all those intending to venture upon the first selectman's privacy. He delivered it at Broadway's store. "Talk about your r'yal Peeruvian tigers with eighteen rings on their tails!
These people who have neither blood nor rank, these men who labour in their business offices, are richer than our great dukes, at the realising of whose wealth and possessions we have at times almost turned pale. "Them!" chaffed a costermonger over his barrow. "Blimme, if some o' them blokes won't buy Buckin'am Pallis an' the 'ole R'yal Fambly some mornin' when they're out shoppin'."
But Cai, though he obeyed, and stood for a moment in the direct line of their vision, could detect no change in the unwinking eyes. "Cap'n Hunken will even have it that he hears what's said, or scraps of it. But that I don't believe. . . . I believe 'tis but a buzzin' in his ears, with no sense to it, an' 'twould be jus' the same if we was the band of the R'yal Lifeguards."
I entertained a very wholesome dread of the "Horn" the notorious "Cape of Storms." Bob, on the other hand, was all for the western route. "I'm willin' to allow," observed he, "that a trip round the Horn ain't like a day's cruise in the Solent all pleasuring; but I've knowed ships to come round under r'yal stunsails, and that more than once.
