How often did Iwarn him: "Jack, " I would say, "take all the money you can. Guineas tellno tale. But leave the watches in their owners' fobs. " Alas! he did notheed my words, and the last man he ever stopped on the road was thatpompous rascal, Dr. Bell, then chaplain to the Princess Amelia. "Give meyour money, " screamed Jack, "and take no notice or I'll blow yourbrains out. " And the doctor gave him all that he had, the mean-spiriteddevil-dodger, and it was no more than eighteenpence. Now what... should aman of courage do with eighteenpence? So poor Jack was forced to seizethe parson's watch and trinkets as well, and thus it was that a secondtime we faced the Blind Beak.
When Jack brought home the watch, I was seized with a shudderingpresentiment, and I would have given the world to throw it out of thewindow.
