What for?" "You belonged to Coppy. Coppy told me so!" wailed Wee Willie Winkie disconsolately. "I saw him kissing you, and he said he was fonder of you van Bell or ve Butcha or me. And so I came. You must get up and come back. You didn't ought to be here. Vis is a bad place, and I've bwoken my awwest." "I can't move, Winkie," said Miss Allardyce, with a groan. "I've hurt my foot.

"Exactly," said Coppy gravely. "But I don't fink I'll ever want to kiss big girls, nor no one, 'cept my muvver. And I MUST do vat, you know." There was a long pause, broken by Wee Willie Winkie.

Meer Butcha and his Kohistanees, again, were not to all appearance anxious for the restoration of Yakoub.
You've paid your toll to misfortune why should your wife be picked out more than anybody else's? G. I can talk just as reasonably as you can, but you don't understand you don't understand.

"Colonel sahib, since I was a little butcha not as high as your knee I have spoken English and sat at the feet of British officers.
