I'll put it off for a night or two," says Nolly, sleepily.,"Good gracious, Molly, don't knock the town down like that! Let 'em have more than a week to get used to this white rag of a dress you've been waving in their faces for the last few days. Go slow!","Dido! Dido!" remonstrated Mrs. Dallas, shaking the woman.

The other read it and said questioningly, “Well?”，Though Mr Lawrence had communicated the intelligence of the girl being on board and of his holding sealed orders from Captain[Pg 270] Acton in confidence to Mr Eagle, the sensations excited in this plain and acid sailor by the extraordinary, astounding, and unexpected revelations had filled him to bursting point with a fever and passion for giving the news. In short, the man's mind was much too small to retain what had been poured into it, and of course it overflowed. To whom other than Tom Pledge could he speak? Pledge and he had sailed in Captain Acton's employ for two or three voyages; they were friends, and visited each other ashore where each had a little cottage and a wife.

Sure you know he is the most vicious animal in the whole stables. Take any horse but that.",Bob waited until the storm had passed and then asked calmly:,“That’s great!” said Steve Whitney. “Now go ahead and spin me the whole yarn.”,"Well, I'd rather take a chance with a bear than a ghost, wouldn't you Bill?",“But you may have broken bones—be seriously injured.”,"Aha, missy," said she, in deep, guttural tones, "you tink ob dat yaller-ha'r'd man!",Billy held out the pan to his chum and waited until Maurice had filled his pockets.
