Moby Dick

[Old Thunder]

"You gettee in," he added, motioning to me with his tomahawk, and throwing the clothes to one side.

 

[Old Thunder]

He really did this in not only a civil but a really kind and charitable way.

 

[Old Thunder]

I stood looking at him a moment.

 

[Old Thunder]

For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal.

 

[Old Thunder]

What's all this fuss I have been making about, thought I to myself -- this man's a human being just as I am: he has just as much reason to fear me as I have to be afraid of him.

 

[Old Thunder]

Better sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian.

 

[Old Thunder]

"Landlord," said I, "tell him to stash his tomahawk there, or pipe, or whatever you call it; tell him to stop smoking, in short, and I will turn in with him. But I don't fancy a man smoking in bed with me. It's dangerous. Besides, I ain't insured."

 

[Old Thunder]

This being told to Queequeg, he at once complied, and again politely motioned me to get into bed -- rolling over to one side as much as to say -- I won't touch a leg of ye.

 

[Old Thunder]

"Good-night, landlord," said I, "you may go."

 

[Old Thunder]

I turned in, and never slept better in my life.

And thus we end Chapter III. Guys, I can't thank you enough for this opportunity to go through Moby Dick and re-read that novel with you, and I'm sorry that it's gotta come to a close now. It's been fun, but I really should stop now...

Spoiler

What, permanently? Heavens, no! Just for tonight! MOBY DICK RETURNS TOMORROW!

Why? You know he's not going to post the whole book...Just a few more pages to make us think otherwise. Mark my words. You'll see.
