After taking a glass of warm rum-and-water at a tavern close by
tocollecthis thoughts
the Captain made a rush down the court
lest its good effects should evaporate
and appeared suddenly to Mr Perch.
'Matey
' said the Captain
in persuasive accents. 'One of your Governors is named Carker.'
Mr Perch admitted it; but gave him to understand
as in official duty bound
that all his Governors were engaged
and never expected to be disengaged any more.
珀奇先生承认这一点，但他有责任让他了解，公司的头头们都很忙，别指望他们能抽出时间来。
'Look'ee here
mate
' said the Captain in his ear; 'my name's Cap'en Cuttle.'
The Captain would have hooked Perch gently to him
but Mr Perch eluded the attempt; not so much in design
as in starting at the sudden thought that such a weapon unexpectedly exhibited to Mrs Perch might
in her then condition
be destructive to that lady's hopes.
'If you'll be so good as just report Cap'en Cuttle here
when you get a chance
' said the Captain
'I'll wait.'
Saying which
the Captain took his seat on Mr Perch's bracket
and drawing out his handkerchief from the crown of the glazed hat which he jammed beeen his knees (without injury to its shape
for nothing human could bend it)
rubbed his head well all over
and appeared refreshed. He subsequentlyarrangedhis hair with his hook
and sat looking round the office
contemplating the clerks with a serene respect.
