while the chef in the kitchen glared furiously at his omelette souffle, and vowed terrible things to M'sieu Zhames if he looked at Celeste more than twice a day. "Good morning," said M'sieu Zhames, hanging up his towel. His face glowed as the result of the vigorous rubbing it had received. "Bon jour!" admiringly. "Don't give me any of your bong joors, Miss," stolidly.
"Mosheer l'Abbey," said he, placing his arm familiarly on the shoulder of a portly personage, whose shaven crown strangely contrasted with a pair of corked moustachios, "Mosheer l'Abbey, nous sommes frères, et moi, savez-vous, suis évèque, 'pon my life it's true; I might have been Bishop of Saragossa, if I only consented to leave the Twenty-third. Je suis bong Catholique.
His servants were clad in a smart livery, and he himself was resplendent, with uncut emerald earrings, and the general appearance of a certain Savoy favourite as the "Rajah of Bong"! Our spirits sank as he spread himself and his goods out upon the drawing-room floor, which speedily became a glittering chaos of gold and jewelled cups, umbrella handles, boxes, scent-bottles, and necklaces.
"Damn it, what's yon!" whispered Mr. Gallosh. "Ze pipes! Gallosh, how beastly he does play!" In point of fact the air seemed to consist of only one wailing note. "Bong!" they heard the first stroke of midnight on the big clock on the Castle Tower; and so unfortunately had Count Bunker timed the candle that on the instant its flame expired.

Bobbie had never been anywhere near the top of her French class, but she must have learned something without knowing it, for now, looking at those wild, hunted eyes, she actually remembered and, what is more, spoke, some French words. She said: "Vous attendre. Ma mere parlez Francais. Nous what's the French for 'being kind'?" Nobody knew. "Bong is 'good," said Phyllis.

'Pahang is now thine, O Prince! he concluded, 'so be pleased to return to the Jĕlai, and I, thy servant, will keep watch and ward over the conquered land, until such time as thou bringest thy father with thee, to sit upon the throne which thy valour has won for him, and for his seed for ever! So Wan Bong set off on a triumphal progress up river to Bûkit Bĕtong, disbanding his army as he went.
