"Do you think I will have come on board and not ask first ?" cries she.

The patroon scolded back upon her in a lingo where the oaths were English and the rest right Hollands; till at last (seeing her near tears) I privately slipped in the rogue's hand six shillings, whereupon he was obliging enough to receive from her the other shilling without more complaint.

"He is to be inquired of at the house of one Sprott, an honest Scotch merchant," says she; and then with the same breath, "I am wishing to thank you very much--you are a brave friend to me." "It will be time enough when I get you to your father," said I, little thinking that I spoke so true.

"I can tell him a fine tale of a loyal daughter." "O, I do not think I will be a loyal girl, at all events," she cried, with a great deal of painfulness in the expression.
