Excerpt from The Scrap-Book: Consisting of Tales and Anecdotes, Biographical, Historical, Patriotic, Moral, Religious and Sentimental Pieces, in Prose and Poetry
As the honest tar appeared to be in a talkative mood, I determined to indulge his loquacity, and replied, My good fellow, you appear to be quite out of humour to-day. I should conclude that you must have been shamefully misused. I have lived several months among these same Americans, and have no cause to complain of any ill-treatment whatever.
