"Does you mean dose little black specks in de moon, missy?"

"No, Quady is one of the bright ones now; and you will be made white,
too, when you go there. Don't you want to go and be one of those bright
ones, Vingo?"

"Does all de white folks go dar?"

"Yes, if they love God when they are here; if they are good he will
take them home to be with him."

"Den I don't tink I wants to go dar."

"O, Vingo! that is very wicked! Why don't you want to go?"

"'Cause, missy, dey say old slabe massa am one ob de best men in de
whole ob Berginny, and I's 'fraid he catch Bingo and tie him up again."

At that moment a shadow was seen in the distance, and Harry came
bounding over the ground on the wings of the wind.

"Ah! I thought I should find you here, Sea-flower, making the
acquaintance of some of your sisters, as they hold up their heads in the
moonlight. Vingo, what do you think? Father has received orders to sail
in a week!"

"O, go way, massa Harry; what you mean by dat?" said Vingo, letting fall
his lower jaw, while the whites of his eyes looked as if they had some
time or other been in contact with a ghost.
