I see well enough there's a screw loose in your affairs.
I know'd well enough the first time I see you down at the Dragon that it must be so, sooner or later.
Now, sir here am I, without a sitiwation; without any want of wages for a year to come; for I saved up (I didn't mean to do it, but I couldn't help it) at the Dragon--here am I with a liking for what's wentersome, and a liking for you, and a wish to come out strong under circumstances as would keep other men down; and will you take me, or will you leave me ?' 'How can I take you ?' cried Martin. 'When I say take,' rejoined Mark, 'I mean will you let me go? and when I say will you let me go, I mean will you let me go along with you? for go I will, somehow or another.
Now that you've said America, I see clear at once, that that's the place for me to be jolly in.
Therefore, if I don't pay my own passage in the ship you go in, sir, I'll pay my own passage in another.
