"Thankye, sir," said the man gruffly, and just then I heared a low weary sigh from somewhere close by, and turning sharply, I saw the ship's boy standing there with his left hand up to his face, looking at me piteously. "Hallo!" I said, smiling; "how's the eye this morning?" "Horrid bad, sir," he answered. "Let me look."
"But I say, Mr Leigh, don't you go thinking that I went ashore carrying on and drinking, because I didn't." "I promise you I will not." "Thankye," said the mate, as he stood looking along the darkened deck, with the lanthorns now swinging aloft.
"Thankye, sir," he cried, as I stood wondering at my own words; "that's done me good;" and he buttoned his jacket up with an intense look of satisfaction. "I'm beginning to think the doctor was right, Gnat," said Barkins one morning. "What about?" I said. "My wound; I don't think the knife was poisoned." "Why, of course it wasn't; you fancied it all."
"Thankye, sir; you'd be sure to know," said Sam hurriedly. "I was only asking Mr Frank like so as to pick up a little about the place." The man asked no more questions, but made the best of his way to his own room. "Come down and out into the grounds, my lad," said the professor. "The doctor's sitting in the garden having his cigar." "I was just going to bed."
For a moment or two the boy gasped, but he recovered himself directly. "Shake hands, Jackum. Thankye." The black grinned, and took the extended hand for a few seconds. "Let's try again," said Carey; but the shark had sunk down out of sight. "Ticklum," said the black, grinning. "Come soon."
"Mr Walters, sir." "Humph!" I went on watching the surface of the soup, which kept on threatening to slop over, when a rough voice said "Thankye, sir. I'll have it here. Did you put in the salt?"
He made the two sounds again, and burst into another uncontrollable fit of laughter at the success of his ruse; but this time Don caught him by the throat, and he stopped at once. "Hah!" he ejaculated, and wiped his eyes again. "Thankye, Mas' Don; that's just what you ought to ha' done before. There, it's all over now. What are you going to do?"
"Let him get up, Tom," said Aleck. "Easy, Master Aleck. Let's make sure first as he won't go off his head again." "I shan't go off my head again now I'm safe, stoopid," cried the smuggler, angrily. "Master Aleck, sir, thankye kindly for helping a poor desprit fellow. I can't say much, but my poor little wife'll say: `Gord bless yer for this for the sake of our weans."
"Thankye, sir, but if it's all the same to you, I'd rather as you said honour bright." "Well then, honour bright. There, I am not going to do any more to you now; I must dress the wound by daylight." "Won't bleed any more, sir, will it?" "Not now." "That'll 'bout do then, sir, thank ye kindly." "You are welcome, my man," said the doctor, and then, "What is it?" for I had grasped his arm.
"Thankye," said the man. "Is that all you want to say?" "No. Now look here; I'll give you five guineas if you'll let me go some time to-night. You could break through that window, and it would seem as if I had done it myself." For answer the man turned upon his heel and stalked out of the place without a word. "Get out, you rude boor!" cried Hilary, as the door slammed and the key turned.
