It was his night at the river house, and small opportunities for pilfering from the drugged sleepers made these occasions both amusing and profitable. On the whole he enjoyed the nights in the den, and they added considerably to his bank in a box secreted behind the Joss who flamed and pranced on the wall.
She pointed to numerous pieces of punk, such as serve the small boy on the Fourth of July, that were consuming slowly before the ugly joss. "No, ma'am not but they needs it all right enough," said Corson, "but that's the haythen way of sayin' your prayers."

She felt as astonished as if some Confucian fanatic had set up his joss at auction. Clara complacently nodded. "Mrs. Herrick spoke to me herself. They don't want any publicity about it, but she had heard that we were looking, and she did me the favor" Clara smiled a little dryly "of telling me first." Flora looked reflective. "I've never seen it, but they say it's beautiful."
Hop Yet smiled a trifle himself, wore his cap with a red button on the top to wait upon the table, and ministered to the hungry people with more interest and alacrity than he had shown since he had been dragged from Santa Barbara, his Joss, and his nightly game of fantan.
The figure of this deity was like a noble Chinaman, well-dressed, with a moustache, and having in his eyes a far-away expression. He wore a tufted crown, which made him look somewhat war-like. It is but natural that this Joss should be a blind man. The Greek gods and goddesses have Greek countenances. The idolatrous nations fashion their deities after their own likeness.
Fairfax took his seat at the table, ate hungrily, and looked so exactly like himself, and so unconscious of having done anything to provoke anger, to give pain or cause anxiety, that Bessie's imaginary difficulties in anticipation of his return were instantly removed. He made polite inquiries after Janey and Joss, and even hoped that Bessie had been enlivened by her little cousins' visit.

"That's wot I said blood! When I woke up this mornin' there was blood all on that grinnin' joss the blood wot 'ad dripped from 'er shoulders when she fell." "Eh!" said Harley. "Blood on whose shoulders? Wot the 'ell are you talkin' about, old son?" "Ere" the fireman turned in his chair and grasped Harley by the arm "listen to me, and I'll tell you somethink, I will.
A large-meshed veil imprisoned her turban hat and a face that shone through it with a calm and unconscious beauty. She had come there at the same hour on the day previous, and on the day before that; and there was one who knew it.
