"I'm glad I was not there," returned Gartok. "I could not have saved him from so many, and it would not have been pleasant to go into slavery if not to torture and death. Poor Cheenbuk! he was ever against war yet war has been forced on him. I fear we shall never see him again. Hoi! my leg is bad.
He seems to have been unnoticed, except as one of the hoi polloi of the musical rabble, till an accident attracted attention to his talent. A drama was to be produced in which a very difficult cavatina was introduced. The manager was at a loss for any one to sing it till Rubini proffered his services. The fee was a trifling one, but it paved the way for an engagement in the minor parts of opera.
It must be a wounded soldier, some one of his many friends who had chatted to him as he rode, for everyone in the regiment had a kind word to say. "Hoi! Where are you?" he shouted, and the voice answered from very near: but the bushes were thick, the rocks many, and the darkness deep, so that it was some time before Dick could reach the spot and pass his hands over someone lying there. "Water."
"Oh, I know Greek!" he was too eagerly the gentleman "ho cosmos tes adikias the last thing I learnt for ordination this world of injustice that's right, isn't it?" He laughed sickly. "I say as one 'Varsity man to another we're not hoi polloi could you lend me some money?" We had to press on thirty miles up a 'light railway' to a power-station, a settlement by a waterfall in the wild.

We may observe here that in those regions the sun in summer describes nearly an unbroken circle in the sky, and that Cheenbuk's reference was to the next two days. "I will take with me as many men and women as choose to go, but no children.
Ben run out 'n de woods, and fell down on his knees in de road right in front er Mars Marrabo. Mars Marrabo had to pull on de lines an' hoi' de hoss up ter keep 'im f'um runnin' ober Ben. "'Git out'n de road, you fool nigger, says Mars Marrabo, 'does yer wanter git run ober? Whose nigger is you, anyhow? "I's yo' nigger, Mars Marrabo; doan yer know Ben, w'at runned erway?
"Hoi, hoi," said Shosshi in horror, his red hands quivering. "Yes," said Bear mournfully, "I had worn them for ten years and moreover the leaven had denied all my Passovers." Belcovitch also entertained the lover with details of the internal politics of the "Sons of the Covenant." Shosshi's affection for Becky increased weekly under the stress of these intimate conversations with her family.
Sorry I killed him, but if I had not he would have killed me and then, perhaps, some of the women, for they had not got far away, and I don't know how far the spouter can send its little arrows. I wonder if they are little. They must be surely, for I've never seen one. Hoi! hoi! what fools men are to kill one another! How much better to let each other alone!
Then there are the hoi polloi of outcasts, younger sons of younger brothers, tutors, governesses, portionless cousins, and curates, all formed in phalanx round the side-tables, whose primitive habits and simple tastes are evinced by their all eating off the same plate and drinking from nearly the same wine-glass, too happy if some better-off acquaintance at the long table invites them to "wine," though the ceremony on their part is limited to the pantomime of drinking.
His first act was to open his eyes to the uttermost, and, considering the small, twinkling appearance of those eyes just a minute before, the change was marvellous. "Hoi!" then burst from him with tremendous emphasis, after which he dropped his bundle, turned poor Rooney over on his back, and looked at his face with an expression of awe.
