acquaintance upon him formally. Mr. Toots seemed much relieved and gladdened by the acquisition, and chuckled rapturously during the remainder of his visit. The Captain, for his part, was not ill pleased to occupy that position of patronage, and was exceedingly well satisfied by his own prudence and foresight. But rich as Captain Cuttle was in the latter quality, he received a surprise that same evening from a no less ingenuous and simple youth, than Rob the Grinder. That artless lad, drinking tea at the same table, and bending meekly over his cup and saucer, having taken sidelong observations of his master for some time, who was reading the newspaper with great difficulty, but much dignity, through his glasses, broke silence by saying-- 'Oh! I beg your pardon, Captain, but you mayn't be in want of any pigeons, may you, Sir?' 'No, my lad,' replied the Captain. 'Because I was wishing to dispose of mine, Captain,' said Rob. 'Aye, aye?' cried the Captain, lifting up his bushy eyebrows a little. 'Yes; I'm going, Captain, if you please,' said Rob. 'Going? Where are you going?' asked the Captain, looking round at him over the glasses. 'What? didn't you know that I was going to leave you, Captain?' asked Rob, with a sneaking smile. The Captain put down the paper, took off his spectacles, and brought his eyes to bear on the deserter. 'Oh yes, Captain, I am going to give you warning. I thought you'd have known that beforehand, perhaps,' said Rob, rubbing his hands, and getting up. 'If you could be so good as provide yourself soon, Captain, it would be a great
convenience to me. You couldn't provide yourself by to-morrow morning, I am afraid, Captain: could you, do you think?' 'And you're a going to desert your colours, are you, my lad?' said the Captain, after a long examination of his face. 'Oh, it's very hard upon a cove, Captain,' cried the tender Rob, injured and indignant in a moment, 'that he can't give lawful warning, without being frowned at in that way, and called a deserter. You haven't any right to call a poor cove names, Captain. It ain't because I'm a servant and you're a master, that you're to go and libel me. What wrong have I done? Come, Captain, let me know what my crime is, will you?' The stricken Grinder wept, and put his coat-cuff in his eye. 'Come, Captain,' cried the injured youth, 'give my crime a name! What have I been and done? Have I stolen any of the property? have I set the house a-fire? If I have, why don't you give me in charge, and try it? But to take away the character of a lad that's been a good servant to you, because he can't afford to stand in his own light for your good, what a injury it is, and what a bad return for faithful service! This is the way young coves is spiled and drove wrong. I wonder at you, Captain, I do.' All of which the Grinder howled forth in a lachrymose whine, and backing carefully towards the door. 'And so you've got another berth, have you, my lad?' said the Captain, eyeing him intently. 'Yes, Captain, since you put it in that shape, I have got another berth,' cried Rob, backing more and more; 'a better berth than I've got here, and one where I don't so much as want your good word, Captain, which is fort'nate for me, after all the dirt you've throw'd at me, because I'm poor, and can't afford to stand in my own light for your good. Yes, I have got another berth; and if it wasn't for leaving you unprovided, Captain, I'd go to it now, sooner than I'd take them names from you, because I'm poor, and
