"Beautiful!" exclaimed the sergeant, pausing in the act of lighting a cigarette. "Beautiful, my friend." Schemmer was pleased at the praise. "Come on, Ah Chow," he said, in the Tahitian tongue. "But I am not Ah Chow " Ah Cho began. "Shut up!" was the answer. "If you open your mouth again, I'll break your head." The overseer threatened him with a clenched fist, and he remained silent.
Of co'se I noticed things yere an' there but the most of it was O. K." "I tell you," said Hansen, grinning, "he got it from an old Fourteenth man Dan Powerss at practice camp last Chuly. He an' I wass often talking of China. He wuss in my old company an' wass then telling me how he an' the other fellerss all that extra chow got. I tank Bill he hass a goot memory."
"It iss not moch, gentlemen," sighed Wutzler, cringing. "But I am ver' glad." Heywood flung himself into a chair. "Not dead yet, you rascal?" he cried. "And we came all the way to see you. No chow, either." "Oh, allow me," mumbled their host, in a flutter. "My she I will speak, I go bring you." He shuffled away, into some further chamber. Heywood leaned forward quickly.
He put the constituents parts of society in order of importance as follows: the People; the Gods; the Sovereign: and this has been a cardinal principle in Chinese polity. He saw clearly that the Chow dynasty could never be revived; and arrived at the conclusion that a dynasty was only sacred while it retained the "mandate of heaven."
Then, as he saw the disturbed look on Chow's face, Tom burst out laughing. "Okay. Relax, old-timer! Guess I was dreaming." "Brand my snake oil!" Chow said. "You looked so pale an' pasty, you had me plumb scared, Tom! I couldn't wake you nohow!" Worriedly the cook added, "What you need is a good beefsteak and some sunshine. You been under water too long." "In more ways than one!"
Some officer had found an extra slicker for her and an umbrella. Possibly the officer in olive drab who assisted her to the nearest covered 'ricksha and directed the placement of her luggage. "China!" "Yes, ma'am. Mandarin coats and oranges, jade and jasmine, Pekingese and red chow dogs." "Oh, I don't mean that kind!" she interrupted.
So long as we continued to "chow" with him, so long appeared the acid, flavorless banana and the gummy, sticky jelly. In justice to Manila it must be said, however, that such conditions have long since been outlived. Good food and well-served American tables are plentiful enough in Manila to-day.
"Mamma always used my full name, and I have never had anyone else to give me a pet name, unless it was 'Tatters' at school." "We might bracket Tatters with Chow, and dismiss both," he said lightly. "And I like the sound of Hermione so well that it is pat on my lips already. . . . Now, you, Marcelle remember that her ladyship has become Lady Hermione Curtis." "Oh, not Mrs. Curtis?" "No.
And at one end of the dance room, Chow had rigged up a model of a Western chuck wagon. "Real atmosphere!" Tom said admiringly. "Chow, you've done us proud!" "Thanks, boss." The cook, who had asked especially to take charge of the decorations, glowed at the praise. Then he became serious. "But what's keepin' that dad-blamed fiddler?"
He had missed the trail from the Salton place to the Bald-eagle half a dozen times that day, and that had not improved his bitter mood. "You been gone long enough," growled Silent. "Sit down an' chow an' tell us what you know." "I don't eat with no damned traitors," said Purvis savagely. "Stan' up an' tell us that you're a double crossin' houn', Buck Daniels!"
