1st Qui hi. “When do you sail?”
2d Qui hi. “By the first good ship. I should like a good ship.”
1st Qui hi. “Well, then, you had better go out with Gentleman Dodd.”
2d Qui hi. “Gentleman Dodd? I should prefer Sailor Dodd. I don't want to founder off the Cape.”
1st Qui hi. “Oh, but this is a first-rate sailor, and a first-rate fellow altogether.”
2d Qui hi. “Then why do you call him 'Gentleman Dodd'?”
1st Qui hi. “Oh, because he is so polite. He won't stand an oath within hearing of his quarter-deck, and is particularly kind and courteous to the passengers, especially to the ladies. His ship is always full.”
2d Qui hi. “Is it? Then I'll go out with 'Gentleman Dodd.'”
