'' said Mrs. Windemere , taking the piggy-wiggy , who really behaved quite well , only squealing occasionally by way of emphasis , `` I never made a speech in my life , but I 'm ever so much obliged , and I should be delighted to give you all a feast of roast pig , if our captain will furnish the cook and the extras . '' `` The ship , with all its men and stores , is at your disposal , madam , '' said Captain Hosmer , doffing his cap with a low bow . `` Then , '' cried the little lady , rising to the occasion , and looking really pretty with her pink cheeks and brightening eyes , `` I invite you all , victors and vanquished , players and non-combatants , to dine on roast pig with Captain Hosmer and myself , to-night at seven o'clock . '' `` We accept ! '' came in a tremendous shout from deck-house to bow . `` And may Heaven have mercy on our digestions ! ''
