"If he were our greatest enemy, we should do our best to save him; only let us take away from him the power of doing mischief." "You are right, sir; I forgot that," said Roger Trew. The pirate's kriss was in his hand, but his arm was too weak to lift it. We removed his weapon, when Mr Hooker addressed some words to him, which made the pirate open his eyes wide with astonishment.
She knew so much that she made the killing of Dain an impossibility. That much was certain. And yet the sharp, rough-edged kriss is a good and discreet friend, thought Babalatchi, as he examined his own lovingly, and put it back in the sheath, with a sigh of regret, before unfastening his canoe.
I tried to warn him, but could not make my voice heard. Ali was close to him, with his kriss ready to strike, when I heard the watch below called. In a moment I was awake. My dream was at an end.
Almayer's encouraging smiles to take every opportunity of approaching the girl; and every time he spoke to her, every time he looked into her eyes, Nina, although averting her face, felt as if this bold-looking being who spoke burning words into her willing ear was the embodiment of her fate, the creature of her dreams reckless, ferocious, ready with flashing kriss for his enemies, and with passionate embrace for his beloved the ideal Malay chief of her mother's tradition.
Have you watched the sleep of men weary of dealing death? Have you felt about you the strong arm that could drive a kriss deep into a beating heart? Yah! you are a white woman, and ought to pray to a woman-god!" "Why do you say this? I have listened to your words so long that I have forgotten my old life.

"They're determined to know who Kriss Kringle is," added my husband; then speaking aloud, he said: "Come, dear, I want to show you something up in the dining-room." I understood Mr.
He did not, however, see that the hermit afterwards shifted his position a little, and that Babu, desiring to be near his friend, lay down on the vacated spot.

"I don't know what overt act is," observed my friend; "but I know dat if dey stick de kriss into me, or de mate, or Massa Tarbox, dey no stop dere. When dey begin, I know what dese fellows are." "Then, what we must do, is to watch them narrowly," I observed. "Ay, ay, Massa Walter, I got my eyes about me; neber fear of dat. Dey tink me go to sleep.
"It was nip an' tuck for a while, but we were fighting for our lives, an' we beat 'em off at last an' sent what was left of 'em tumbling into their praus.
