"I peen bit all ofer py does cendibedes!" "Begorra! there's a bushel av th' craythers hangin' to me!" shouted the Irish lad. "Oi'm a dead b'y intoirely!" "Hel-lup! hel-lup!" howled Hans, dismally. Out into the center of the room danced the two boys, fighting, clawing, striking at various parts of their bodies, where the crawfish persistently clung.

Out of the beds they scrambled in hot haste, and to each one six or eight of the crawfish were clinging. "Wao-w!" roared Hans. "Whoop!" bellowed Barney. "I peen kilt alretty yet!" shrieked the Dutch boy.
"Well, you may think what you like, but you may see some of our winter centipedes some time, and then it is possible you will feel that you owe me an apology."

"Vot vos cendibedes?" "They are a creature with a poisonous bite, and they are all sizes from the bigness of a pea to one as large as your hand." "Oh, phwat are yez givin' av us!" cried Barney Mulloy, derisively. "Is it idiots or fools ye take us fer, Oi dunno?"
