All I want is what I’ve got: your promise to stand by and bear a hand (_producing a dark lantern_).] Now, here, you see, is my little glim; it ain’t for me, because I’m blind, worse luck! and the day and night is the blessed same to David Pew.

Instead I heard a hoarse whispering, lost all at once in a woman's shrill scream out beyond the casement, and thereafter a loud voice that hailed: "House ho! House ahoy! Light ho!
