A slight laugh that to the children seemed demoniacal, followed. "See," said Wan Lee, "Evil Spillet be likee Chinee, try talkee him." The Pirates looked at Wan Lee not without a certain envy of this manifest favouritism.
"You cutee palaber!" chattered Ah-Fang-Fu, busy with the pipe. "You likee too much chin-chin. You make nice piece bhobbery." "Not a 'bean'," continued Bill reminiscently "not a 'oat." He sat up violently. "Even me pipe an' baccy was gone!" he shouted. "You'd even pinched me pipe an' baccy! You'd pinch the whiskers off a blind man, you would, Pidgin! 'And over the dope.
Another said, "Debil talkee, me no likee him," but now this is all changed. Some there are who still cling to their old superstitions, but they are few. The march of commerce levels all prejudices, and the telephone is an established fact in Chinatown. They have their own exchange, a small building built in Chinese style, and their own operators.
With a recollection of past pain, and an obscure suspicion of impending danger, she asked him when he had left Fiddletown. "Longee time. No likee Fiddletown, no likee Tlevelick. Likee San Flisco. Likee washee. Likee Tally." Ah Fe's laconics pleased Mrs. Tretherick. She did not stop to consider how much an imperfect knowledge of English added to his curt directness and sincerity.
"You savvy sail um boat all light; wanta you fo' captain. But," he added, suddenly dropping his bland passivity as though he wore a mask, and for an instant allowing the wicked malevolent Cantonese to come to the surface, "China boy no likee funnee business, savvy?" Then with a smile of a Talleyrand he disappeared. Moran and Wilbur were helpless for the present.
The enclosure was thinning fast now, as we walked toward the gateway by which we had entered, where a strong body of soldiers had been on guard over the barricades, in case of an attempt being made by the pirates' friends to rescue them, and we saw plainly enough that had we wanted there would have been no getting away. "You likee go in and see plison?" said Ching insinuatingly.
Perhaps I can help you. "'I don't likee say, replied he coyly. "'How foolish, Ah Moy. Tell me I will promise not to mention it not to say a word to any one. Understand? "'Plomise? asked he craftily. "'Certainly I will promise. Don't you think I can keep a secret? Lots of people tell me things that's because they trust me. Who do you want to marry? Ah, I believe I know. Isn't it Hoi Kee?
"Can't you understand that we are sorry and anxious to help you?" cried Miss Campbell, addressing the mob, but her voice was lost in the subdued threatening murmur which sounded like distant thunder heralding the approach of a storm. "Good heavens, Komatsu, what are we to do? The child might be saved if they would only listen to reason." "People no likee honorable devil-wagon.
You come alongee fightee ploper. Me likee you welly muchee." Alice was crying too much to answer, especially as she could not find her handkerchief. I gave her mine, and then she was able to say that she did not want to walk on anybody's head, and she wanted to go home. "This not nicee place for lillee whitee girlee," said the young Chinaman.
"Ching just come ask young genelman likee walkee walkee." "Yes, allee likee walkee walkee velly much," said Barkins, imitating the Chinaman's squeak. "Why? Can you give us leave?" Ching shook his head. "Go ask offlicer. Go for walkee walkee, take Ching; you likee see something velly nice ploper?" "Yes," I cried eagerly. "Can you take us to see a Chinese theatre?" Ching closed his eyes and nodded.
