"Da's more'n I dar tell till I ax his leave, sar.

I kin only say de peepil around calls 'im the hermit ob Rakata, 'cause he libs by his self (wid me, ob course, but _I_ counts for nuffin), close under de ole volcano ob Krakatoa.

Dey tink--some ob de foolish peepil--dat he hab sold his-self to de dibil, but I knows better.

He's a good man, and you'd hab great fun if you stop wid him.
Now, what I's a-gwine to advise you is, come wid me an' see de hermit.
If he lets you stop, good.

If not, I fetch you ober to de main land--whar you please--an' you kin come back here or go whar you choose.
