I'm a committee to mention the subject and to collect your thirty-eights if y'u agree with us." "And if I don't agree with you?" "There's all outdoors ready to receive y'u, seh. It would be a pity to stay in the one spot where your welcome's wore thin." "Still I may choose to stay."
So Aponigawani told the people of Kaodanan to start to attend balaua with Dumanau and Wanwanyen-Aponibolinayen.

But I've often visited people who did. You'll like it. There'll be brooks to wade in, and little calves and lambs to play with, and chickens and ducks. And you can play outdoors all day long."
"As your honour pleases!" "Hospital's stuffy, isn't it? Think you could recover health more rapidly outdoors? Sick-leave continued of course, but how about a little exercise?" The Sikh's eyes twinkled. "Sahib, you know I need exercise!" "I'll speak to the doctor for you. In case he signs a new certificate, report to me tonight." "Atcha, Jimgrim sahib! Atcha!" "Hum Dekta hai"
Tillie did not speak. She was resting in the wooden rocking-chair by the kitchen window, a pillow at her head and a shawl over her knees.
