No, sir, said the little boy, shrinking; for the man now took a step forward and clapped a big, brown, tarry hand upon his shoulder. Then why can't yer understand yer own lingo? I do, sir, said the boy, with a sound like a sob. Then why did you say you didn't, and make me think you was a Frenchy? I didn't know what you meant, sir, by 'hilli' something, and 'what cheer.' Why, yer young savage! cried the man. Arn't yer never been to school? Yes, sir, and had a tutor. A tutor, eh? What may that be? But lookye here, my lad; I arn't a sir-on'y a marrineer. A what, sir? said the boy, staring. Marrineer-seaman. Fore the mast man, ship now lying off the port o' Torquay. Whatcher doing there? Cry-ying, sir, came for answer, with a piteous sob.
