Dana Da's letters were very insulting, and if he had then offered to lead a new departure, there is no knowing what might not have happened. But Dana Da was dying of whiskey and opium in the Englishman's godown, and had small heart for honors. "They have been put to shame," said he. "Never was such a Sending. It has killed me."
"Topside man catchee my inside godown this time, ch'hoy! he makee big bobbely." "Never mind about that. I'll pay the fine." "No can do, no can do so-fashion. Massa pay squeeze; all-same, my catchee plenty bobbely, makee my too muchee sick." "I'll take care you don't suffer. Come along: there's no time to lose." "This time Sunday, look-see, massa. No workee Sunday, no fear; that joss-pidgin day."
Within the city, negro carriers may be heard at all hours, in couples, engaged in the transportation of clove-bags, boxes of merchandise, &c., from store to "godown" and from "go-down" to the beach, singing a kind of monotone chant for the encouragement of each other, and for the guiding of their pace as they shuffle through the streets with bare feet.
From nine to ten breakfast will fill the breach, and you may allow another hour for the butler's account and the godown; but there is still a yawning chasm of at least two hours between eleven and tiffin. I cannot bridge it. Imagination strikes work. The joyful sound of the Borah's voice brings promise of relief; but no! for what interest can there be in the Borah if you have no Dirzee?
"I got up and stumbled after him. He led me by dark ways out of the fort, past the new godown, across the burying ground, down to Chandpal ghat. There I found Mr. Toley awaiting me with a boat, and 'tis thanks to my old peon and him I now find myself safe." "And do you know what became of Bulger?" asked Desmond. "He is with the rest, sorely battered, poor man." "What will happen to the prisoners?
A party of Jews dressed in robes of purple and red that sweep the street pass by, without giving a glance at the wild plunging of the half-wild pony. A Singhalese jeweller is showing his rubies and cat's-eyes to a party of Eurasian, or half-caste clerks, that are taking advantage of their master's absence from the godown to come out into the court to smoke a Manila cigarette and gossip.
John Jenkinson, whose godown was near the Custom House, and obtain from him the petrol bespoken by Mr. Barracombe. Being in complete ignorance where the Custom House lay, though he guessed it would be somewhere near the seafront, he was at first at a loss in which direction to make.
Smith shouted to him to stop, but in vain; whereupon he picked up his heels and ran to overtake the carriage. The horse was a sorry specimen, and Smith, being a very passable sprinter, soon came up with it, jumped in, and called to the driver to take him to Mr. Jenkinson's godown.
The horizontal ray struck through the grating of the "calaboose" at the corner of the godown I was skirting. I saw the prisoner. The upright shadow of an iron bar cut his face in two, separating the high, soiled cheeks, each with an eye. "You mustn't leave him get at her!" I tell you it was not the same man that had come swimming and sniveling out to the schooner less than forty hours before.
If you will meet me there punctually at the half-hour, I shall have the pleasure of introducing you to your Colleagues of the Medical Staff. And now, if you please, as I have just five minutes left to spare, we will have a look at those carboys of carbolic." "They are in the old Chinese godown at the bottom of the garden," said Saxham.
