Maybe she and I together could swing away out of the current make the shore nothing else to do I'll try it, anyhow." Beside the girl he knelt. "Beta! Beta!" he whispered in her ear. He shook her gently by the arm. "Come, wake up, girlie there's work to do here!" She, submerged in healthy sleep, sighed deeply and murmured some unintelligible thing; but Stern persisted.
Their method of playing does not materially differ from ours, but they play draughts with very much more excitement and fun. The jocular vituperation which follows a successful sally, and the almost unintelligible rapidity with which the moves are made, are as novel to the European as appreciated by the natives.
Malcourt lifted his expressive eyebrows. "Why didn't you try my talented relative again to-night?" "Mrs. Malcourt had enough," said Portlaw briefly; then mumbled something injuriously unintelligible. "I think I'll go over to the house and see if my gifted brother-in-law has retired," said Malcourt, adding carelessly, "I suppose Mrs. Malcourt is asleep." "It wouldn't surprise me," replied Portlaw.
Wallie grew warm every time he thought of such a message addressed to him coming over the wire.

I cannot give it as dramatically as she did, and if I attempted to do so the pathos would be marred by the broad Doric unintelligible to southrons in which her narrative was told; but I will reproduce it as faithfully as possible in my own words.

Her attempts to get savon from a stupid boy had produced nothing more useful than a flow of unintelligible French and no soap whatever. She tried a pantomime of washing her hands, but to the boy she had appeared to be merely wringing them.
