Won't that do ?' 'Ay, carry him to Flushing,' said the Captain, 'or--to America ?' 'Ay, ay, my friend.' 'Or--to Jericho ?' 'Psha! Wherever you have a mind.' 'Ay, or--pitch him overboard ?' 'Nay, I advise no violence.' 'Nein, nein; you leave that to me.

Sturmwetter! I know you of old.

But, hark ye, what am I, Dirk Hatteraick, to be the better of this ?' 'Why, is it not your interest as well as mine ?' said Glossin; 'besides, I set you free this morning.' 'YOU set me free! Donner and deyvil! I set myself free.

Besides, it was all in the way of your profession, and happened a long time ago, ha, ha, ha!' 'Pshaw! pshaw! don't let us jest; I am not against making a handsome compliment; but it's your affair as well as mine.' 'What do you talk of my affair?
is it not you that keep the younker's whole estate from him?
Dirk Hatteraick never touched a stiver of his rents.' 'Hush! hush! I tell you it shall be a joint business.' 'Why, will ye give me half the kitt ?' 'What, half the estate?
D'ye mean we should set up house together at Ellangowan, and take the barony ridge about ?' 'Sturmwetter, no! but you might give me half the value--half the gelt.
Live with you?
nein.

I would have a lusthaus of mine own on the Middleburgh dyke, and a blumengarten like a burgomaster's.' 'Ay, and a wooden lion at the door, and a painted sentinel in the garden, with a pipe in his mouth! But, hark ye, Hatteraick, what will all the tulips and flower-gardens and pleasure-houses in the Netherlands do for you if you are hanged here in Scotland ?' Hatteraick's countenance fell.
