What I mean is have you and I walked the Lord's way as straight as we'd ought to?
We've tried--that is, seems 's if we had--but I don't know.

Anyhow, all this afternoon I've had a funny feelin' that you and me and Mary-'Gusta was--well was as if the tide had been comin' in for us all these years since she's been livin' with us, and as if now 'twould begin to go out again." The Captain laughed.

"And that's what you call a FUNNY feelin'!" he exclaimed.

"Zoeth, I've got a funny feelin', too, but I know what's the reason for it--the reason is turkey and plum puddin' and mince pie and the land knows what.

When a couple of old hulks like you and me h'ist in a cargo of that kind it's no wonder we have feelin's.
