`` Mr Stuart , _ alias _ the guv ` nor , '' replied Dan with extreme affability ; `` an ' as no answer is required , I 'll take my leave with your highness 's permission . '' Haco deigned no reply , but turned to Gildart and held out his hand . `` You 've not gone to stay at Cove yet , I see , '' said Gildart . `` Not yet , lad , but I go to-night at nine o'clock . You see Mrs Gaff is a-goin ' to visit a relation for a week , an ' wants me to take care o ' the house , the boodwar , as she calls it , though why she calls it by that name is more than I can tell . However I 'll be here for a week yet , as the ` Coffin ' wants a few repairs , -LRB- I wonder if it ever did n't want repairs -RRB- , an ' I may as well be there as in the Home , though I 'm bound to say the Home is as good a lodgin ' as ever I was in at home or abroad , and cheap too , an ' they looks arter you so well . The only thing I a n't sure of is whether the repairs is to be done here or in Athenbury . ''
