She's very seeck, but you goin' mak' her well. She ain't goin' run away. She ain't goin' fly off lak dem birds. No. She's goin' love you lak a broder, an' mebbe she's goin' let you stay close by. Dieu! Dat's fine dream, eh?
"Hanimals!" cried the coxswain, with an incredulous smile; "well, sir, I always took 'em to be weggitables. We live and larn, sure enough. Are cabbage and hingions hanimals too?" "No," replied the surgeon, much amused, "they are not, Marshall; but these are. Now take them to the boat, and put them in a safe place; and then come back."
Him as you was say, last night, do tell all 'bout de countries ob de world, and wot sort of treeses an' hanimals in 'im. "Well!" exclaimed our hero with a laugh, "possibly geography may refer to the fact; if so, I had forgotten it, but I'm sorry to hear that they are numerous, for they are much too bold to be pleasant companions."
You may git the 'abit of walkin' on your 'ands an' shakin' your legs in the hair if you was to persevere long enough, but that would only prove you a fool fit for a circus or a lunatic asylum. You never see the hanimals smokin'. They knows better. Just fancy! what would you think if you saw the cab 'osses all a-settin' on their tails in the rank smokin' pipes an' cigars!

And when there's any on us ill, or out o' work, then Cheap Jack be a real good friend, and very ready with the brass.
'Garn awy, answered somebody, 'we're not hanimals; we don't drink water. 'You're too clever, remarked the coachman; 'I can see you've just come from the board school. As the former speaker was a lady of quite mature appearance, the remark was not without its little irony.
I once devoted my time for several months to unintermitted study of Chech, and consequently do not speak in entire ignorance when I declare that true Rommany contains scores of Hindu words to one of Bohemian. Gipsies and Cats. "Christians." Christians not "Hanimals." Green, Red, and Yellow. The Evil Eye. Models and Morals. Punji and Sponge-cake. Troubles with a Gipsy Teacher.
"Marshall, come here directly, sir, and help us," cried Willy, an order which the coxswain, who was sufficiently recovered, immediately obeyed. "Give me your hand, Mr Macallan," said the man, as the surgeon was clinging to the seaweed; "it's no use holding on by them slippery hanimals. Now, then, Mr Price all together."
With the aid of his grooms Dawson soon had five horses saddled and bridled, curbs rattling and saddles creaking. There were only two cross saddles. Then he turned to Jess.
