I reckon you've been the king pin of this outfit." "Right, Buck, right," said Mr. Haydon in a tone of deep feeling. "I was just thinking of what I owed to my boy."

"How can we drop them, I wonder, so that we can make a start on our expedition without being ambushed as soon as we strike into the jungle?" "It's going to be mighty dangerous to go into the Mogok country and follow up the Professor's trail straight from the beginning," said Buck.
"Know him all right," replied Buck. "But what under the sun is he doing this distance from home? What brings Saya Chone in Brindisi? The last time I set eyes on him he was coming into Mogok with a little bag of rubies to sell to U Saw, the chap they call the Ruby King." "He comes from Burmah, where you have been?"
