"Ooooh! Coward yourself! You aint no lady. No, Miss. Thats what my poor old Mother would say to you, if my poor old Mother was to hear you. Whose boat is this, anyway? I asked you on board cause I was sorry for you on account of your losing your brother and all. What you get for feeling sorry for people! Well, I aint sorry no more, you crazy, psalm-singing, skinny old maid!"

"Ah, its a great thing to have a lady aboard with clean habits. It sets the man a good example. A man alone, he gets to living like a hog. Then, too, with me, its always: Put things off. Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow. But with you: Business before pleasure. Every time. Do all your personal laundry, make yourself spic and span, get all the mending out of the way and then - and only then - sit down for a nice quiet hour with the Good Book. I tell you, its a model - like an inspiration. Why, I aint had this old engine so clean in years, inside and out. Just look at her, Miss. She actually practically sparkles. Myself, too. Guess you aint never had a look at me without my whiskers and all cleaned up. I bet you wouldnt hardly recognize me, works that much of a change. Freshens you up, too. If I only had some clean clothes, like you. Now you - why you could be at high tea. Say, thats an idea, Miss. Hows about a nice little cup of tea? Now dont you stir, Ill be glad to make it for you."
