"Oh shucks! What's the use of thinkin' 'bout that now? We've gotta catch them robbers first, ain't we?",

Apparently the boy did not hear the first question. "Mr. Ringold," he whispered, "I waited here to see you. The Sandtown fishermen are comin' to rob your orchard tonight.",

"No, on the shore, Miss," said the Admiral. "A French corsair was chased ashore about five miles up and burnt.",

"Oh, certainly not, and as a consequence the Aurora sails two feet to the Minorca's one. That schooner is almost due. She is commonly very punctual. She earns more money than the Minorca. No doubt all will have been well with her until she enters the Chops. But the Western squadrons have done great work. They have swept the French corsairs off the narrow waters and huddled the lily-livered rogues into their own ports.

I am much troubled," he continued in a maudlin way, "to think that I should continue to be a burthen upon the old gentleman.

But go where I will and ask where I will, the door is shut, the place is full, the answer is nay. What a sweet little dog is that!
