| 'Fie! Mr. Vaughan,' cried Cecilia Ossulton; 'you know it came from your heart' | [197] |

| 'Pirates!—bloody, murderous stick-at-nothing pirates!' replied the steward | [229] |
| 'Upon my soul, my lord,' cried Maddox, dropping on his knees, 'there is no Burgundy on board—ask the ladies' | [237] |
