"I know jest how to do it an' kin get through in less'n half the time it'll take you.","Yes, the French have landed, but not just in the way they like. One of our frigates—I haven't got to hear her name—chased a French privateersman ashore five miles up the coast yesterday afternoon; after taking out of her ten thousand pounds in gold, which the beggars had sneaked from a British West Indiaman off Dungeness two or three nights before, they set her on fire. I had a mind this morning to ride over and view the wreck or what remains of her."，"Then I don't believe you!" breaks out Geoffrey, angrily.

She looked all about, but could see no one who was singing.,"I have only been certain of these things since our last interview.
