Of course, I should have done that before, I understand, Gart; but I only just recalled it now.

It was so light to walk!" Haggart says sternly: "Step aside, Flerio, and you all--step aside with him." They all step aside.

"O, Haggart! O, my dear Haggart! They are not offended because I asked them so rudely to step aside, are they?
O, my dear Haggart! The galloons of your uniform scratched my cheek, but it is so pleasant.

Do you know, I never liked it when you wore the clothes of our fishermen--it was not becoming to you, Haggart.

But I am talking nonsense, and you are getting angry, Gart.
