"Aye, aye, when I have caught him, I shall not be long about that—I will commit him to the Workhouse, or Bridewell, which you know is beside the Custom-house."
"Yaw, the Rasp-house; I know it very well."
"I will take care that the red-coats are dispersed through the country; you land at night with the crew of your lugger, receive your own goods, and carry the younker Brown with you back to Flushing. Won't that do?"
