My visitor, who wore a slop-shop suit, also wore a wide-brimmed bowler hat; now, the set bland smile still upon his yellow face, he removed the bowler and pointed significantly to his skull. His pigtail had been severed some three inches from the root! "You gotchee my pigtail," he explained; "me callee get it thank you." "Thank you," I said grimly.
A Chinaman was asked if there were good doctors in China. "Good doctors!" he exclaimed. "China have best doctors in world. Hang Chang one good doctor; he great; save life, to me." "You don't say so! How was that?" "Me velly bad," he said. "Me callee Doctor Han Kon. Give some medicine. Get velly, velly ill. Me callee Doctor San Sing. Give more medicine. Me glow worse go die.
There were evidently more than one individual contributing to this strange fracas of the forest; and the noises continued to come apparently from the same place. "Allah be thank!" exclaimed Saloo, in a subdued tone. "He home at lass. Him family makee welcome. Maybe chile be live yet. Maybe mias no killee after all. Trust we in Allah, what you Inglees people callee God. Who know he yet help us!"
She tellee me no callee for one week." "Then that's all right; the lady has died very suddenly, and the gentleman gone away; you will have to keep the clothes a long time." "Me wantee money, no wantee clo'!" "I'll pay you for them; I don't care about them being ironed." "Givee tickee, givee clo'! No givee tickee, no givee clo'!" This was a poser!
"This is a bad business," said I, "the fellow will of course bring the rest of the justicia upon us, and we shall all be cast into the estaripel." "Ca!" said the black Callee, biting her thumb nail, "he has more reason to fear us than we him, we could bring him to the filimicha; we have, moreover, friends in this town, plenty, plenty."
"As yet the machines receive their impressions through the agency of man's senses: one travelling machine calls to another in a shrill accent of alarm and the other instantly retires; but it is through the ears of the driver that the voice of the one has acted upon the other. Had there been no driver, the callee would have been deaf to the caller.

"The Busno will take us to prison," said the black Callee, "ha! ha! ha!"
"No le penela chi min chaboro," said the black Callee to me, in an undertone; "sin un balicho de los chineles ;" then looking up to the interrogator she said aloud, "he is one of our people from Portugal, come on the smuggling lay, and to see his poor sisters here." "Then let him give me some tobacco," said the fellow, "I suppose he has brought some with him."
"He has no tobacco," said the black Callee, "he has nothing but old iron. This cigar is the only tobacco there is in the house; take it, smoke it, and go away!" Thereupon she produced a cigar from out her shoe, which she presented to the alguazil.
"Mount, brother, mount!" said he, pointing to the horse; "I went with the Callee and her chabes to the village where the ro is in trouble; the chinobaro, however, seized them at once with their cattle, and would have laid hands also on me, but I set spurs to the grasti, gave him the bridle, and was soon far away.
