For look you , in a man 's own business there he may speak ; but of hearsay matters and of common talk , not so . Ask me Sir Oliver -- ay , or Carter , if ye will ; not me . '' And Hatch set off to make the rounds , leaving Dick in a muse . `` Wherefore would he not tell me ? '' thought the lad . `` And wherefore named he Carter ? Carter -- nay , then Carter had a hand in it , perchance .
