What money I hae--an' it is but little--came to me fairly." "Oho!" cried Blackbeard, "and you have money then, have you?
Is it enough to make it worth my while to take it ?" "Ye can count it an' see, whenever ye like," said Ben.

"But it isna money that I came to talk to ye about.

I came to ask ye, at the first convenient season, to put me on board that ship out there, that I may be in my rightful place by the side o' Master Bonnet." "And what good are you to him, or he to you," asked the pirate, with a fine long oath, "that I should put myself to that much trouble ?" "I have the responsibeelity o' his soul on my hands," said Ben, "an' since we left Charles Town I hae not seen him, he bein' on ane ship an' I on anither." "And very well that is too," said Blackbeard, "for I like each of you better separate.
