"Me no shabbee Pilat INSIDE housee; me shabbee Pilat OUTSIDE housee. S'pose you lun away longside Chinee boy Chinee boy make you Pilat." Hickory softly scratched his leg; while a broad, bashful smile almost closed his small eyes. "Wot?" he asked. "Mebbe you too flightened to lun away. Melican boy's papa heap lickee." This last infamous suggestion fired the corsair's blood.
Rooney also said that the batch of men brought to complete our crew seemed "a tidy lot;" but when the last man stepped down from the bulwarks, he seemed a little more impressed, not to say excited. "Bedad," he exclaimed sotto voce to me, "I'm blissid if the skipper ar'n't picked up that Chinee cook we'd aboard two v'y'ges agone, owld Ching Wang!
"No pilate junk," said Ching decisively, and I saw Mr Brooke make an angry gesture quite a start. "What do you say, my lads?" "Well, sir, we all seem to think as the Chinee does as it arn't one of them." "Why?" "Looks biggerer and clumsier, and deeper in the water." "Yes; tlade boat from Hopoa," said Ching softly, as if speaking to himself. "I'm not satisfied," said Mr Brooke.
A Chinaman put his head out of the kitchen door, smiled blandly, said "'Ello!" and retired. Gordon and Carew unsaddled the horses, put the hobbles on, and carried all the gear into the house. By this time the Chinee had donned a dirty calico jacket, and began in silence to put some knives, forks, and pannikins on the table.
In a minute you'll hear her control talkin' Chinee talk.... There! My savin' soul! hear it?... Ain't it awful!" "Little Cherry Blossom" had evidently been waiting at the transmitter. The husky croak which had so amazed Galusha was again heard. "How do? How do, everybodee?" hailed Little Cherry Blossom. "I gladee see-ee you. Yes, indeedee."
The protestants are the same. Convert Dr William J. Walsh D.D. to the true religion. Save China's millions. Wonder how they explain it to the heathen Chinee. Prefer an ounce of opium. Celestials. Rank heresy for them. Buddha their god lying on his side in the museum. Taking it easy with hand under his cheek. Josssticks burning. Not like Ecce Homo. Crown of thorns and cross.
"Then why not let us pull ashore, sir, and get a drink at one o' them Chinee imitation grog-shops yonder?" "Because it would be a breach of discipline, my man," I said, trying to speak very sternly. "I should look nice if the captain came back and found me with the boat and no men." "Hark at that now!" cried Jecks.
Who'd a-thought av sayin' ye ag'in in the ould barquey, Ching Wang? Glad ye're a-comin' with us, an' hopes ye're all roight!" "Chin-chin, Mass' Looney," answered the Chinee, putting his monkey-like paw into Tim's broad palm and shaking hands cordially in English fashion. "Me belly well, muchee sank you. Me fetchee chow-chow number one chop when you wauchee."
"There's American writin' on 'em, too," Jim East hastened to explain, "'cause otherwise how'd I know who it was for, hey?" Abbie carried the labels into the parlor and looked for a safe place for them. She saw the picture-album and put them in it. Then she hurried back to the porch. Old Chris opened one end of the crate. "It's a plant," Jim East whispered; "a Chinee plant."
"You put your money in the bank next time," warned his employer sharply, "instead of letting it lie round in some flimsy Chinee junk shop. They're always burning." Lew Wee regarded her with a stilled face. "Can happen!" he again murmured. He was the least bit insistent, as if she could not yet have heard this utterly sufficing truth.
