`` And so you 're a Jacobite ? '' said I , as I set meat before him . `` Ay , '' said he , beginning to eat . `` And you , by your long face , should be a Whig ? '' * * Whig or Whigamore was the cant name for those who were loyal to King George . `` Betwixt and between , '' said I , not to annoy him ; for indeed I was as good a Whig as Mr. Campbell could make me . `` And that 's naething , '' said he . `` But I 'm saying , Mr. Betwixt-and-Between , '' he added , `` this bottle of yours is dry ; and it 's hard if I 'm to pay sixty guineas and be grudged a dram upon the back of it . '' `` I 'll go and ask for the key , '' said I , and stepped on deck . The fog was as close as ever , but the swell almost down . They had laid the brig to , not knowing precisely where they were , and the wind -LRB- what little there was of it -RRB- not serving well for their true course . Some of the hands were still hearkening for breakers ; but the captain and the two officers were in the waist with their heads together . It struck me -LRB- I do n't know why -RRB- that they were after no good ; and the first word I heard , as I drew softly near , more than confirmed me . It was Mr. Riach , crying out as if upon a sudden thought : `` Could n't we wile him out of the round-house ? '' `` He 's better where he is , '' returned Hoseason ; `` he has n't room to use his sword . '' `` Well , that 's true , '' said Riach ; `` but he 's hard to come at . '' `` Hut ! '' said Hoseason . `` We can get the man in talk , one upon each side , and pin him by the two arms ; or if that 'll not hold , sir , we can make a run by both the doors and get him under hand before he has the time to draw . '' At this hearing , I was seized with both fear and anger at these treacherous , greedy , bloody men that I sailed with .
My XXXXX mind was to run away ; my second was bolder .
