Cap'n Hicks he was a young man in them days, and boastful cursed the mess it made, yanked off the bird's head, so's to have the beautiful pink beak of it made into the head of a walking-stick, and ordered Tony to throw the carcass overboard and clean up the deck. I went to the wheel in his stead, with Jim Ledward. Jim says to me: 'Am'zon, that bird'll foller us.
Doesn't that mean that we are beaten?" "Beaten! Us? How do you get that way? Not on your sweet young life!" he ejaculated, and the surprise on his face was so manifest that she recovered instantly. "We've just dug a hole and pulled the hole in after us, that's all! When we get everything doped out to suit us, we'll snap out of it and that bird'll think he's been petting a wildcat!"
But as soon as I knew that bird came from the tropics, I knew he'd fall for water, 'cause a tropical bird'll go where the sound of water is every time. I guess it's because they have so many showers down there, or something. Then once I heard that it's best to turn on the faucet when you're teaching a parrot to talk. It's the sound of water.

"The King will be in the wine-cellar. I'm going to carry him there now." "If they find him?" "They won't. How should they? Josef will put them off." "But " Sapt stamped his foot. "We're not playing," he roared.
"Know where he went to? where he hangs out? know anything else?" "That's everything. Thought I'd better slip it to you as quick as I could." "This time that bird'll not get away!" growled Gavegan, still in a whisper. "Twenty-four hours and he'll be in the cooler!" Finally Gavegan managed to get a flame from one of those irritatingly splintery Swedish matches made in Japan.
"There now, that's real sensible; and mother's bird'll set along with you as good as a kitten. Toast her tootsies wal, for she's croupy, and I have to be extra choice of her."
"'That's because you've got a handsome son of your own, old lady, chuckled the sailor; 'I've neither chick nor child, ma'am, remember, and a man must have something to look to. The bird'll go with me.
