I turned to Wan Lee, who was surveying them with a calm satisfaction, and demanded an explanation. To my horror he pointed to an empty mail-bag in the corner, and said, "Postman he say, 'No lettee, John; no lettee, John. Postman plentee lie! Postman no good. Me catchee lettee last night allee same!" Luckily it was still early: the mails had not been distributed.
Of course, we brought the two doorkeepers to the same room, so that you should experience no difficulty, but take them all together." Here Mr. Won Lung Foo broke in. Evidently he could follow English better than speak it. "Yes," he said. "We wantee you catchee Chineemans all togeller muchee wantee!"
He had finished this process, and, suspending it by one wing in an attitude of patient suffering, was singeing it with a blazing paper, when Melissa appeared. "What you want, gell?" he demanded autocratically, noticing that she carried no pail. "Where is the young man, the tall one?" asked Melissa. "Young man? Mist' Stellin'? He take 'im gun an' go catchee labbit."
I followed his example, and Ching smiled. "Velly good thing," he said. "Now pilate fliend, see jolly sailor boy, and say Come killee duck-bird, goose-bird to make nicee dinner, not come catchee catchee pilate." "You hear what this man says, my lads?" said the young lieutenant, addressing the men. "Ay, ay, sir." "Then you understand now that we have not only come up to shoot?" "Ay, ay, sir."
See Queen Victolia ship say big gun go bang. 'Top away." "But where do you think they hide?" "Evelywhere," he said. "Plentee liver, plenty cleek, plenty hide away." "Then we shall never catch them?" I said. "Ching wantee catchee, wantee plenty money; but pilate won't come. Pilate 'flaid."
"Comee here when Sin Sin Wa hate gone for catchee shavee, liftee alla my dollars, and-pff! chee-lo!" He raised his hand and blew imaginary fluff into space. Kerry stared down at him with an expression in which animal ferocity and helplessness were oddly blended. Then: "Bryce," he said, "stay here. I'm going to search the house." "Very good, sir." Kerry turned again to the Chinaman.
From his waistcoat pocket he drew out a fresh piece and placed it between his teeth. Drawing a tea-chest closer to the stove, he seated himself and stared intently into the glowing heart of the fire. Sin Sin Wa extended his arm and opened the little cupboard. "Number one p'lice," croaked the raven drowsily. "You catchee sleepee, Tling-a-Ling," said Sin Sin Wa.
One man makee go bottomside have catchee boat. This morning no have got tea no can catch hot water makee boil." And soon we were ready to start. Punctually to the appointed hour we were at the bottom of the steep, dark incline leading down to the river bank. But my reckonings were bad.
"Ah Pat, my friend he b'long number one Flickleman, boss man." The withered little creature bobbed in his blue robe, grinning at the introduction. "You welly high-tone man," he murmured amiably. "Catchee goo' plice." "All the same, I don't half like it," was Heywood's comment later. He had led his guest upstairs into a bare white-washed room, furnished in wicker.
Meantime the children had reached the goal and stood before the opening of one of the tunnels. Then these four heroes who had looked with cheerful levity on the deadly peril of their descent became suddenly frightened at the mysterious darkness of the cavern and turned pale at its threshold. "Mebbee a wicked Joss backside holee, he catchee Pilats," said Wan Lee gravely.
