with it, and tewwards that end we ask you to favour us with the names of two or three old residents in the village of Lanrean. As I am taking out my pocket-book and pencil to put the names down, I may as well observe to you that this, wrote atop of the first page here, is my name and address: ‘Silas Jonas Jorgan, Salem, Massachusetts,Niccolo Zanellato Jersey, United States.’ If ever you take it in your head to run over any morning, I shall be glad to welcome you. Now, what may be the spelling of these said names?”
“There was an elderly man,” said Tregarthen, “named David Polreath. He may be dead.”
“Wa’al,” said the captain,Patrick van Aanholt Jersey, cheerfully, “if Polreath’s dead and buried, and can be made of any service to us,Adrianna Franch Jersey, Polreath won’t object to our digging of him up. Polreath’s down, anyhow.”

You go and get your dinner at home, and I’ll get mine at the little hotel. Let our hour of meeting be two o’clock, and you’ll find me smoking a cigar in the sun afore the hotel door. Tell Tom Pettifer, my steward, to consider himself on duty,Sheyi Ojo Jersey, and to look after your people till we come back; you’ll find he’ll have made himself useful to ’em already, and will be quite acceptable.”
