Am I to divide the take, or are you ?" "You give us what you like, Joe," said Vince, who made up his mind to ask his mother for a pot of jam as a return present, knowing as he did that the old man had a sweet tooth.
"Right, then; I will," cried Daygo, rolling up his jersey sleeve, and thrusting a massive arm into the locker, out of which he drew the fish, the boat's stem having been lifted so that the water had run out.
"There, look here: Doctor Burnet said as lobsters were undo-gestible things, so you'd better take that there one home with you, Ladle.

You take the fish, Squire Burnet; your mar likes 'em fresh, as I well know." Mike took the lobster; and the old fellow took a little willow creel from where it was wedged in a granite crevice, laid some sea-weed at the bottom, and then packed in the fish.
"Thankye, Daygo," said Mike.

"Shall I pay you for it ?" "If you wants to be bad friends, lad," said the old man gruffly.
"Much obliged, Joe," said Vince.

"My mother will be so pleased!" "Ah! and you're a lucky one to have such a mother," growled the great fellow.

"Wish I had." This brought a roar of laughter from the lads, and Daygo looked fiercely from one to the other; then the bearing of his remark began to dawn upon him, and his countenance relaxed into a grim smile.
"Ah! I didn't see," he grumbled out.
