You said yourself that God taught us to serve each other without seeking for a reward; but I'll reward you. "Why will you annoy me, preaching to me, and frightening me? Do you want me to be like you? That's too bad! You can't make me like yourself! Foo! Foo!" He talked, smacked his lips, snuffled, and sighed. I stood staring at him, open-mouthed with astonishment.
Shortly after daybreak Jack did appear and mounted guard at the front gate. "Go sleep, ole mis's. Chaw! wha' foo all you set up all night? Si' Myra, you go draw watah foo bile coffee." The dreadful signals had ceased at last, and all lay down to rest; but I remained awake and saw through the great seaward windows the wonderful dawn of the tropics flush over sky and ocean.
Go abroad among the barbarians of the earth, to China, for instance, and ask who is yonder thick-set, broad-chested man, with the hearty expression of face, and the splendid eastern uniform, and you will be told that he is Too Foo, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial forces in that department.
There seemed something mockingly ironical in the fact that he had been obliged to search for those two hours! What had happened in that time? Two hours! It was three hours now since the Rat had left Foo Sen's! He shook his head with sudden impatience at himself. He would gain nothing by speculating on possibilities! He had the information now. The one thing to do was to act upon it.
Pioneers, explorers, adventurers what else do they seek? Twenty-four hours a day, all their own! At half after eight about the time Ling Foo slid off his stool the tender from the transport sloshed up to the customs jetty and landed Jane, a lone woman among a score of officers of various nationalities. But it really wasn't the customs jetty her foot touched; it was the outer rim of the whirligig.
The son listened intently. "I bought that string of glass beads in good faith of a Chinaman Ling Foo. I consider them mine that is, if they are still in my possession. Between the hour I met you last night and the moment of Captain Dennison's entrance to my room considerable time had elapsed." "Sufficient for a rogue like Cunningham to make good use of," supplemented the prisoner in Cabin Two.
It was ten o'clock now, an hour since the Rat and Muggy Ladd had left Foo Sen's. Again Jimmie Dale told himself that it was still early, that the Rat would wait for a much later hour but at the same time he acknowledged to himself a sense of growing and premonitory uneasiness. Certainly, in any case, he had no time to lose.
The Wowzer, cute and cunning, had been quick enough to say so to clear himself, but Jimmie Dale smiled a little now neither the Wowzer, nor Chang Foo, nor Chinatown would ever be in a position to recognise their uninvited guest! Jimmie Dale's eyes shifted to the letter speculatively, gravely.
It was the resort, not only of the most depraved Chinese element, but of the worst "white" thugs that made New York their headquarters here, in the succession of cellars, roughly partitioned off to make a dozen rooms on either side of the passage, dope fiends sucked at the drug, and Chinese gamblers spent the greater part of their lives; here, murder was hatched and played too often to its hellish end; here, the scum of the underworld sought refuge from the police to the profit of Chang Foo; and here, somewhere, in one of these rooms, was the Wowzer.
Fustov went into the next room, brought back a twenty-five-rouble note and handed it in silence to Viktor. The latter took it, yawned with his mouth wide open, grumbled thanks, and, shrugging and stretching, got up from the sofa. 'Foo! though... I'm bored, he muttered, 'might as well turn in to the "Italie." He moved towards the door. Fustov looked after him.
