at do you wish me to do?' To give me a true account of all that happened at the Abbey Grange last night--a _true_ account, mind you, with nothing added and nothing taken off. I know so much already that if you go one inch off the straight, I'll blow this police whistle from my window and the affair goes out of my hands forever.' The sailor thought for a little. Then he struck his leg with his great sunburned hand. 'I'll chance it,' he cried. 'I believe you are a man of your word, and a white man, and I'll tell you the whole story. But one thing I will say first. So far as I am concerned, I regret nothing and I fear nothing, and I would do it all again and be proud of the job. Damn the beast, if he had as many lives as a cat, he would owe them all to me! But it's the lady, Mary--Mary Fraser--for never will I call her by that accursed name. When I think of getting her into trouble, I who would give my life just to bring one smile to her dear face, it's that that turns my soul into water. DO SOME GOOD PLAY TRICKS WITH ME AND I'LL CRUSH YOU WHAT YOU WISH ME TO DO TO GIVE ME A TRUE ACCOUNT OF ALL THAT HAPPENED AT THE ABBEY GRANGE LAST NIGHT A TRUE ACCOUNT MIND YOU NOTHING ADDED AND NOTHING TAKEN OFF I KNOW SO MUCH ALREADY THAT IF YOU GO ONE INCH OFF THE STRAIT I'LL BLOW THIS POLICE WHISTLE FROM MY WINDOW AND THE AFFAIR GOES OUT OF MY HANDS FOREVER THE SAILOR THOUGHT FOR A LITTLE THEN HE STRUCK HIS LEG WITH HIS GREAT SUNBURNED HAND I CHANCE IT HE CRIED I BELIEVE YOU ARE A MAN OF YOUR WORD AND A WHITE MAN AND I'LL TELL YOU THE WHOLE STORY ONE THING I WILL SAY FIRST SO FAR AS I AM CONCERNED I REGRET NOTHING AND I FEAR NOTHING AND I WOULD DO IT ALL AGAIN AND BE PROUD OF THE JOB DAMN THE BEAST IF HE HAD AS MANY LIVES AS A CAT HE WOULD OWE THEM ALL TO ME BUT IT'S THE LADY MARY MARY FRASER FOR NEVER WILL I CALL HER BY THAT ACCURSED NAME WHEN I THINK OF GETTING HER INTO TROUBLE I WHO WOULD GIVE MY LIFE JUST TO BRING ONE SMILE TO HER DEAR FACE IS THAT THAT TURNS MY SOUL INTO WATER
