The complaints were chiefly directed against the conduct of the Achin war, the opium monopoly, and the continued interference of the Government in the coffee industry. The reply of Baron Mackay, the colonial minister at the Hague, was in substance as follows:
A picture gallery just started them corns to achin' the worst kind from his tell. The Bourse is sunthin' like our stock exchange, but big enough to accommodate thousands of money-seekers. More than fifty bridges cross this river and it divides out into canals and little streams, all of which comes together agin and flows away into the sea.
In the year 1640 the Dutch with twelve men of war, and the king of Achin with twenty-five galleys, appeared before that harassed and devoted city; which at length, in the following year was wrested from the hands of the Portuguese, who had so long, through such difficulties, maintained possession of it.
Snatching their own new-born babies away from their breasts and showing them, virgin-handed, how to nurse them better! The impudence of it, I say! The disgusting, confounded impudence! Doing things perfectly flippantly right for twenty-five dollars a week and washing that all the achin' love in the world don't know how to do right just for love!" Furiously she began to jerk her victim's shoulder.
Now you shut up whilst I go on with your sad history. Son, you was afflicted some with five-card insomnia and right off, when you first came, you had it fair shoved on you by people usually most disobligin'. It wasn't just for your money; there was plenty could stack 'em higher than you could, and them fairly achin' to be fleeced, at that.

"Oh, my heart it is just achin'," quoted Bridge, "For a little bite of bacon, "A hunk of bread, a little mug of brew; "I'm tired of seein' scenery,
You see I’m jus’ achin’ to smell smoke, an’ Joshua promised his mother the night before he was twenty-one. You don’t know nothin’ about how terrible I feel. I’m empty somewhere jus’ all the time. Don’t you believe’t you could get some cigarettes an’ smoke ’em right close to me, an’ let me lay here, an’ be so happy while I smell. I’ll have a good doctor for you, if you’re sick from it."
But dancin'! never did I expect to see that man with his age and his profession and his achin' old bones, wantin' to dance. But so it wuz, as will be seen in the follerin' pages. Queer as a dog folks are on this planet, and I d'no but the Marites and Jupiters and Saturnses are jest as queer. But to quit eppisodin' and resoom forwards agin.
