If I had a good place, and was treated well here, I should beg acceptance of a trifle, instead of taking of it. But I live on broken wittles and I sleep on the coals' here the waiter burst into tears. I was very much concerned for his misfortunes, and felt that any recognition short of ninepence would be mere brutality and hardness of heart.
I took some wittles, up at the willage over yonder, where the church stands a'most out on the marshes." "You mean stole," said the sergeant. "And I'll tell you where from. From the blacksmith's." "Halloa!" said the sergeant, staring at Joe. "Halloa, Pip!" said Joe, staring at me. "It was some broken wittles that's what it was and a dram of liquor, and a pie."
I'd take all the beaks, an' all the peelers, an' put their own bracelets on 'em, an' feed 'em once a day on scraps o' wittles to bring out the hunger: a cove can't be hungry upon nuffin at all. Jim. He gets what mother calls the squeamishes. Jack. Well, Bill? Bill.
"These here beasts, sir," said Small with a grin. "All on us. These canvas bags is heavy, and I want to see the weight o' the wittles distributed. Much easier to carry that way, and the bottles pitched overboard." "Hist!" whispered Billy Widgeon, who was peering through some bushes where the little river made a curve. "Whatch yer found, Billy?"
Then I up an' addresses 'em: "My Lords an' Gen'lemen, 'cos as how ye're all good boys, an' goes to church, an' don't eat too many wittles, an' don't take off your bracelets when you goes to bed, you shall obswerve me eat." Jim. Go it, Bill! I likes you, Bill. Bill. No, Jim; I must close. The imagination is a 'ungry gift, as the cock said when he bolted the pebbles. Let's sojourn the meetin'.
Better come back an' do as we're bid. Obedience, you know, is the first law of natur'." "Das w'at I says too. Wait for de wittles." "Agreed," said Mark, turning on his heel. On reaching the house they found that two slaves had already begun preparations for the hoped-for feast.
"I 'member the wittles on the binnacle quite plain now," said Barney; "and, yes, o' course, I kep' coming over all soft like, and wantin' to sing songs, and listen to moosic, and couldn't sing; but it was all silver and gold and sunshine and beautiful birds in beautiful trees. Yes, it's all right, sir. You see now, don't you, Neb?" "No, I can't see nowt; but I dessay it's all right.
Rather shabby in him not to come back, and let me go home, and have a slap at the wittles. I expect nothing else, but that he has eat so much, that he's fell asleep at the supper-table, and won't wake up till bedtime. He's always serving me that same trick."
"Wot about the wittles?" demanded this remarkable boy. "Of course you'd fare as well as the other servants," returned the doctor, rather testily, for his opinion of my little friend was rapidly falling; I could see that, to my regret. "Now give me an answer at once," he continued sharply. "Would you like to come?" "Not by no manner of means," replied Slidder promptly.
"Got any wittles here?" demanded another man, wiping his lips with his sleeve. "Yes, plenty. Sit down and order what you want." "For nothin'?" asked the tar. "For next to nothing!" was the prompt reply.
