"Eh?" roared George. "Eighty quid! Eighty quid! Flamin' blind o' Riley! D'you think I'm up the pole? Eighty quid? You're barmy!" "Eighty-ten," murmured Sin Sin Wa. "Eighty jimmies opium; ten bob lead." "I give more'n that for it!" cried the seaman. "An' I damn near hit a police boat comin' in, too!" Sir Lucien spoke a few words rapidly in Chinese.
Neither Chaplain Eymann nor the wife of that worthy pastor ever understood why his lordship should have been so anxious that Flamin and Victor should be brought up together and united by the closest ties of friendship; but being good, simple souls, they accepted the favours showered upon their son without seeking to discover if there were any reason for them.
'Na it's a good bit 'tother side o' that 'ere flamin' pandemony, sir, Lupin's. 'No it isn't! I mean Lupin, where Braddock's mill used to be old John Braddock's. 'Taint called Lupin now, observed the driver, 'that ere's West Lupinus. Wal John Braddock's there now; it's four or five mile straight ahead. 'We can go there, said Rollo. 'That will give us the best chance.
"Victor," said Flamin, to the young Englishman, "give me this night thy friendship for ever, and swear to me that thou wilt never disturb me in my love to thee. Swear thou wilt never plunge me in misfortune and despair!" The two friends were standing at midnight in the mild, sweet air of May, alone on the watch-tower of the little watering place of St. Luna.
O'mie obeyed me to the letter, and ended with the query to the good Father: "Now phwat should a couple of young sleuth-hounds do wid such a dacent good Injun?" Father Le Claire's reply stunned the Irish boy.

Meeting her at evening in the forest near the palace, he sank on his knees before her in the dewy grass, and told her all his love for her, and of the promise he had made to Flamin. Clotilda stooped and clasped his hand, and drew him up, and he folded her to his breast. "We must part, dearest," he said, "until my father sees fit to reveal to your brother the secret of his birth."
The pin wuz clasped over a little bow of red, white and blue, and in that bow and gray alpacky dress I looked exceedingly well and felt so. Josiah put on a neck-tie bearin' all the national colors, with more flamin' stars on it, I guess, than we've got States, but I didn't censure him, knowin' his motives wuz good. We all had comfortable rooms in the tarven.
"When he got close he straightened up, put back his slouch hat, an' looked at us. Then I saw his face. It sorta electrified yours truly. It was white, with veins standin' out an' eyes flamin' a face of fury. I was plumb amazed, didn't know what to think. Then this queer young man shot some cool, polite words at me an' Jim.
The young Englishman himself had been sent to study at Göttingen in order that he might be qualified to act as the prince's physician; but Flamin, without any labour, had suddenly obtained a place of authority almost equal to that occupied by Lord Horion. Late that evening, however, Lord Horion revealed to his son a strange secret, in the light of which everything was explained.
And it has always been my way to wait and see, and count 10, or even 20, before speakin'. And then Miss Flamin sez sunthin' about what beautiful fried potatoes you could get there in the moon, and you could always get them, any time you wanted 'em.
