"Here you are, Master Carey," he said. "Brought your coals. How's the king?" "I have heard him groan several times."
Subpose you no shoot one time straight, look out." The shot was never fired. I asked Tom what he would have done suppose the revolver had been fired and he not killed. "My word! Subpose that fella he no kill me one time, I finish him one time quick alonga tomahawk!" In the course of the day the half-crown was found under the stern sheets, where the boss had been sitting.
The boy said, "Puppy been jump down on the steer's back, and old Darling been throw 'em a good way." My mate said, "You been laugh?" The boy answered, "Baal! me only been laugh alonga inside." He thought I might have beaten him if I had detected a smile on his face. While I was camped just outside Dalrymple, I one day told the boy if anyone wanted me, to say I was in the township.

One day she woke from her sleep on the edge of the mangroves with her blanket sopping with blood which had flowed from her mouth and nose during sleep. "Me bin sorry belonga that boy Jim. Me bin sorry belonga country. That 'nother country no good belonga me. Me think me die. Me walk alonga sandy beach. Some time alonga b-i-g fella rock. Me close up tumble down altogether. Me tired.
Advancing cautiously along it, she came across a huge carpet snake coiled "all a same rope alonga boat." It was asleep where an opening in the roof of vegetation made a patch of sunlight on the jungle floor, and she passed by, treading noiselessly. For food she had the fruits of the jungle, crude, harsh, and bitter.
Mickie's views as to the future are not quite explicit. "Suppose me go bung, me go alonga sky. Bi'mby jump up 'nother fella." He is not at all certain whether the transformation would be into a white man or not; in fact he appears absolutely indifferent. Another time he will say "Suppose me go bung. Good-bye, finish; no come back. Plenty fella alonga Palm Island go bung. He no come back."

With averted face he sullenly said: "That fella Tchoosie he run away. He go l-o-n-g way, alonga mountain!" "Look here! You no humbug. Where Soosie sit down? Plenty row along white man suppose Soosie no come back. That fella Soosie belonga Missis. Missis very sorry. She bin make'm Soosie all asame white Mary." Still the face-averting boy reiterated: "That fella Soosie he bin go long way more far.
