"Didn't expect you back so soon, Cap'n," he said in confused tones.
"No. What's that 'owlin' row you're making?"
"I dunno about no 'owlin' row, but——"
"Well, I do. I s'pose, accordin' to you, I ain't got no musical h'ear," sneered Cap'n Pigg.
"This—this here tune——"
"Yes. This disgustin' noise—what is it?"
The mate looked sulky.
"This is Haydn's 'Surprise,'" he growled.
"So I should think. I dunno who the bloke was, but it must have given Haydn quite a turn! Don't let's 'ave no more of it."
"Well, I don't see as there's no 'arm in music. And I didn't loose it off when you was about. I know you don't like it, so I studied your pecooliarities. Fact is, I studies yer too much," and the mate looked mutinous.
