He laughed.
"You quit her," I pleaded. "But ecod, man!" says I, "please quit her.

"An' you'll never care," cries he. "Not _you_, Master Callaway!"
"Do you quit her, man!"
"I isn't able," says he, drawing me to his knee; "for, Dannie," says
he, his blue eyes alight, "they isn't ar another man in Newf'un'land
would take that basket t' sea!"
