While we were amusing ourselves in this museum of curiosities, our conductor plucked us by the sleeve, and whispered, "Pomaree! Pomaree! armai kow kow." "She is coming to sup, then," said the doctor, staring in the direction indicated. "What say you, Paul, suppose we step up?" Just then a curtain near by lifted, and from a private building a few yards distant the queen entered, unattended.
Then arose that strange, mysterious, indefinable Thing, known as "The Scent." The animals sniffed. "It heralds the approach of the Stalkies the most famous of British Skool Boaz," said the Moo Kow. "They have just placed a decaying guinea-pig, two white mice in an advanced state of decomposition, and a single slice of Limburger cheese in the bed of their tutor.
In the one was her old happy relationship with Alix, and even with Peter, the old joking and talking, and gathering for meals, the old hours in the garden or beside the fire, and in the other was the confused and troubled and ecstatic consciousness of the new relationship between Peter and herself, the knowledge that he did not merely admire her, did not merely feel for her an unusual affection, but that he was consumed by a burning adoration of her slightest motion, the turn of her wrist, the smile she gave Kow at breakfast time, the motion she made when she stooped to tie her shoe, or raised her arm to break an apple from the low, dusty branches.
"Missy no come!" Kow answered, unruffled. "Him say no can come!" "Cherry!" Peter shouted. "Did Alix say she wasn't coming to lunch?" "N-n-not to me!" Cherry answered from the garden. She came up to the porch, with her hands full of short-stemmed roses. "Him go flend house," Kow elucidated. "Fiend heap sick!" "Mrs. Garvin?" Cherry questioned. "Did she stay at Mrs. Garvin's for lunch?
"Behold! it is one of the greatest traits of this mighty race not to show any emotion. He WOULD take the bun he HAS taken it! He is pleased but he may not show it. Observe him eat." The taller Stalky, after eating the bun, quietly kicked the giver, knocked off his hat, and turned away with a calm, immovable face. "Good!" said the Moo Kow.
"Him no go to bed," he further stated. Alix stopped the busy chopping that she was carrying on at the end of the kitchen table, and looked at the Chinese boy fearfully. "Mr. Peter not go to bed?" she echoed with a sick heart. "No sleep!" Kow announced, positively. And pleased with her tense interest, he added, "Boss come late. He walkin' on porch." "He came in late and walked on the porch!"
That's all Sam Kow. Mista Yen Sin keepee colla when Mista Minista come back; give new colla: one, two, five, seven time; Mista Minista say: 'You washy colla fine, Yen Sin: this colla, allee same like new. Mista Matee Snow, his colla allee same like new, too " Something happened so suddenly that none of us knew what was going on.
He got back into the motor-car; Kow got in; the man who drove them quickly toward the valley talked easily and steadily to Peter, attempting to interest him in the affairs of some water company in San Francisco. When they got to the valley a city train was arriving, and Peter saw people looking at him furtively and sorrowfully.
Owing to the onomatopoetic quality of the "kow, kow, kow!" of the bird, it is known in some sections as the "kow-bird," and is thus confounded with the real cow-bird, and gets the credit of her mischief, even as in other parts of the country, under the correct name of "cuckoo," it bears the odium of its foreign relative.
We brought in those big prep school boys and tried to give them the time of their lives, but our hearts weren't in it. We were thinking of those Mu Kow Moos that frat of all others blissfully towing home a prize they'd stumbled onto and didn't know anything about! We thought of those beautifully designed air-castles we were hoping to move into and we got pumpkins in our throats.
