Did you ever see ME before?
You wouldn't be likely to forget it, you know, if you ever did.

Look at me.

Don't be afraid; I won't do you any harm.

Take a good look--steady now.' The encouraging way in which Mr Tappertit made this request, and coupled it with an assurance that he needn't be frightened, amused Hugh mightily--so much indeed, that he saw nothing at all of the small man before him, through closing his eyes in a fit of hearty laughter, which shook his great broad sides until they ached again.
'Come!' said Mr Tappertit, growing a little impatient under this disrespectful treatment.

'Do you know me, feller ?' 'Not I,' cried Hugh.
