"Grenvile," I prompted, continuing "I must apologise for not having sooner introduced myself. I am senior midshipman of the Shark, and was prize-master of the slaver Dolores, which I had instructions to take into Sierra Leone." "Just so; thank'e," answered the man.
"Oh, you were busy when I joined you," said John, evidently pleased with the captain's remarks about his appearance. "I had to jump for it. But you haven't answered my question. How are you?" "Tol'able, thank'e. And your folks how are they?
"Well, I never felt my spangled dress so heavy before. Where are we going?" "Only a little way," replied Timothy, "and then you will have nothing more to do." "I don't know that. When master puts on that dress, I have to swallow little things till I'm sick." "It's all good for your health, Num." "I'm very well, I thank'e," replied the poor fellow; "but I'm very hot and very tired."
"Thank'e, Sir Thomas, thank'e, sir; you're a gentleman of the right sort, you are ay, and a good fighter too, sir; we shan't forget how you went with us into that village, away yonder, to help save them poor `shell-backs'," and so on, and so on.
But don't you chaps be in too much of a hurry now; the orders is that you're to come up the side one at a time. And if you've got any such little matter as a knife or a pistol about you, just fork it over. Thank'e! Next man," as the man climbed inboard and without demur drew an empty pistol and his knife from his belt and handed them over.

"Thank'e, Jan, no need of thiccy," he answered, turning his back to me; "waife wanteth a log as will last all day, to kape the crock a zimmerin." And he banged his gate upon my heels to make me stop and rub them. "Why, John," said I, "you'm got a log with round holes in the end of it. Who has been cutting gun-wads? Just lift your apron, or I will."
I don't care for a great deal of fine sentiment in people who run away without so much as thank'e." "I was all wrong!" "That's what folks always say, with the delusion that it makes everything all right." "Surely it help, to admit it." "That depends; it generally doesn't. What do you propose to do?" "I hardly know at the moment; my plans are quite in the air." "In the air!" repeated Mr. Shackford.
I should be glad to leave as handy a little fellow as yourself behind me whenever I went to sea. There are a hundred things in which you might be useful, and fully earn your biscuit, so as to have no qualms about eating the bread of idleness." "Thank'e, thank'e, maty," cried Jack, dashing a tear out of his eye with the back of his hand, "thank'e, sir, from the bottom of my heart.
I b'lieve in fun too; I do sartain; but I don't b'lieve in scratchin' it into you with blackberry brambles, nor no other. Thank'e, Diany; maybe this'll help me get along with the afternoon." "I never thought you would mind blackberry thorns, Joe." "No more I don't, come in the way o' business," said Joe, sipping his coffee.
