And, besides, who's to stop your cheating the gal that has nobody to take care of her, when you gits her in Virginny, where I darn't follow her?
No, captain, there's jist but the one way to make all safe and fair; and that's by marrying her.

So marry her, captain; and jist to be short, captain, you must marry her or burn, there's no two ways about it.

I make you the last offer; there's no time for another; for to-morrow you must be help'd off, or it's too late for you.

Come, captain, jist say the word--marry the gal, and I'll save you." "You are mad, I tell you again.

Marry her I neither can nor will.
