It was very lucky for the twins that their father was such a brave and skillful kyak man. You will see the reason why, when I tell you the story of the day Menie and Koko went hunting alone on the ice. One April morning Kesshoo was working on his kyak to make sure that it was in perfect order for the spring walrus hunting. Koko and Menie watched him for a long time.
The third Tokugawa shogun, Iemitsu, extended the restriction by ordering that even families having estates of only three thousand koku should not intermarry without Yedo's previous consent. "Hence it is not permissible to lead about a large force of soldiers. For daimyo whose revenues range from 1,000,000 koko down to 200,000 koku, the number of twenty horsemen is not to be exceeded.
Though Emmeline had asked Koko for Dick's whereabouts, it was only a remark made by way of making conversation, for she could hear him in the little cane-brake which lay close by amidst the trees. In a few minutes he appeared, dragging after him two canes which he had just cut, and wiping the perspiration off his brow with his naked arm.
As each one tasted the blood he called out the part of the bear he would like to have. The wives of the Angakok cried, "Give a hind leg to the Angakok." "The kidneys for Koko," cried Koko's mother when she stuck in her finger. "That will make him a great bear-hunter when he is big." "And I will have the skin for the twins' bed," said their mother.

A fairly broad road led out from Sharkhe through the mountains and on the fifth day of our two weeks' march to the south from the monastery we emerged into the great bowl of the mountains in whose center lay the large lake of Koko Nor.
Her ladyship, the beautiful wife of Bálnokházy, was playing with her parrot, when her husband entered her chamber. The lady was very fond of this creature I mean of the parrot.

Last of all came the twins and Koko.
When Menie went out to feed the dogs, he saw a flock of ravens flying north, and Koko saw some sea-birds on the same day. Two days after that, when the twins and Koko were all three playing together on the Big Rock, they saw a huge iceberg float lazily by. It had broken away from a glacier, farther north, and was drifting slowly toward the Southern Sea.
Of course Koko didn't know his mother was trying to keep him still, so he said again, "Why is it, mother?" Koko's mother heard Koko's voice speaking just as plainly as ever though she was sure she had her hand over his mouth! She was frightened. "Magic! magic!" she screamed. "Bring the light! Koko is bewitched! I have my hand over his mouth, yet you hear that he talks as plainly as ever!"
The Angakok lay down on the sand in the sunshine with his hands over his stomach and was soon asleep, too. The men sat in a little group near by, and Menie and Koko lay on their stomachs beside Kesshoo. The women had gone a little farther up the beach.
