You would not have heard of 'em . To come nearer home , I rebuilded this little St Barnabas ' church of ours . It cost me more trouble and sorrow than aught I 've touched in my life . But 't was a sound lesson . ' ` Um , ' said Dan . ` We 've had lessons this morning . ' ` I 'll not afflict ye , lad , ' said Hal , while Puck roared . ` Only 't is strange to think how that little church was rebuilt , re-roofed , and made glorious , thanks to some few godly Sussex iron-masters , a Bristow sailor lad , a proud ass called Hal o ' the Draft because , d'you see , he was always drawing and drafting ; and ' -- he dragged the words slowly -- ' and a Scotch pirate . ' ` Pirate ? ' said Dan . He wriggled like a hooked fish . ` Even that Andrew Barton you were singing of on the stair just now . ' He dipped again in the ink-well , and held his breath over a sweeping line , as though he had forgotten everything else . ` Pirates do n't build churches , do they ? ' said Dan . ` Or do they ? ' ` They help mightily , ' Hal laughed . ` But you were at your lessons this morn , Jack Scholar . ' ` Oh , pirates are n't lessons . It was only Bruce and his silly old spider , ' said Una .
