Malacca is an old Dutch city, but the Portuguese have left the strongest mark of their possession in the common language of the place being still theirs.

On passing through the Straits of Sunda, the Endeavour was boarded by the Dutch authorities, and various official inquiries were made as to whence she had come, and the object of her voyage. These being answered, she proceeded to Batavia. Captain Cook and his companions were received into port by the Dutch governor with all the courtesy and kindness which could be expected.
I am a fool, and I am going into the street, and I am going by myself with no planton into the little street of the little city of La Ferte Mace which is a little, a very little city in France, where once upon a time I used to catch water for an old man.... I have already shaken hands with the Cook, and with the cordonnier who has beautifully mended my shoes.
On that day, then, only two sailors remained on board the novice and the cook, Negoro." "And you took command of the ship?" asked Harris. "I had that idea at first, but I saw that they distrusted me. There were live strong blacks on board, free men. I would not have been the master, and, on reflection, I remained what I was at the departure the 'Pilgrim's' cook."
She recognized in this the hand of Putois, had a chain put on the door of her bedroom, and was unable to sleep.... About ten o'clock in the evening, Pauline having gone to her room, Mademoiselle Bergeret said to her brother: "Do not forget to relate how Putois betrayed Madame Cornouiller's cook." "I was thinking of it, my sister," answered Monsieur Bergeret.
All's good that's there. Then we're free for the day! man, boy, and me; we cook our victuals, and we must look to the yacht, do you see. But we've made our peace with the Almighty. We know that. He don't mind the working of the vessel so long as we've remembered him. He put us in that situation, exactly there, latitude and longitude, do you see, and work the vessel we must.
And when the bear came up to the Prince's bed, she raised her paw and felt the patient's pulse, which made the Queen laugh outright, for she thought every moment that the bear would scratch his nose. Then the Prince said, "My dear bear, will you not cook for me, and give me my food, and wait upon me?" and the bear nodded her head, to show that she accepted the office.
Then Mrs. Perkin sent for her. When she entered her room, she found her occupied with the cook, and was allowed to stand unnoticed. "When shall I be able to see Mrs. Redmain, ma'am?" she asked, when the cook at length turned to go. "Wait," rejoined Mrs. Perkin, with a quiet dignity, well copied, "until you are addressed, young woman."
Madame F Oh, yes! I have looked at one quite close. It is a rather funny story. Fancy Clementine's cook having a brother a Capuchin an ex-jeweller, a very decent man. In consequence of misfortunes in business it was in 1848, business was at a stand-still in short, he lost his senses no, he did not lose his senses, but he threw himself into the arms of Heaven. Madame H Oh! I never knew that! When?
Feather felt herself growing pale as she sat and stared at her. Cook drew near and laid one little book after another on the small table near her. "That's the butcher's book," she said.
