I jest finished moppin' the floors."，"Are you sure you've got 'em boxed safe, Bill?" he asked, fearfully.，Lawrence had got to know of his existence by one day sauntering into the justice's court. Among the prisoners charged with various[Pg 118] misdemeanours was this man, who had no other name than Paul. He was accused of having taken a vegetable, a cabbage or a turnip, from a field which lay invitingly open, and the punishment inflicted was a fine or a term of imprisonment. Mr Lawrence, struck by the extraordinary appearance of the man, or witnessing a very great hardship in a pauper having to pay for so mean a thing as a turnip by a considerable term of incarceration, put his hand in his pocket with a sailor's liberality, and finding the money that was wanted, handed the amount to an official of the court, and the man went free.，The Admiral cut a plate of meat, and the pair fell to their dinner, the housekeeper reappearing to place such another silver tankard foaming full as graced Sir William's elbow, at the side of Mr Lawrence."Well, the Yankee's discipline is taut, though not so taut as ours by the length of a log-line to a lead-line.

S'pose we try on' get hold of some of it, Bill?","With the greatest pleasure. What should it be?" As Miss Acton loved "Sally in our Alley," he would be happy to sing it.,"Billy," she spoke again, "are you sick?","It is Lucy!" he said, in a voice in which[Pg 355] awe and amazement were so mingled that one should say the apparition of a ghost, of something spiritual and fearful to the observer, could not have filled the hollow of his mouth with that tone.,"An' money," said Maurice.

Then he touched the sleeper's arm; still he did not stir.,Sir William started back in his chair, crying faintly: "My God! Look at her, Acton!","Gee!
