In the form of a letter from Professor Spence to his friend, Dr. John Rogers. No letter yet from you, Bones; Bainbridge must be having the measles. Or perhaps I am not allowing for the fact that it takes almost a fortnight to go and come across this little bit of Empire. Also Li Ho hasn't been across the Inlet for a week. He says "Tillicum too muchy hole. Li Ho long time patch um."
"You mean you can manage him and he'll be all right tomorrow?" I said. "But what is it!" The Celestial shrugged. "Muchy devil maybe. Muchy moon-devil, plaps. Velly bad." "There's a knife in that umbrella, Li Ho." But though his eyes looked blandly into mine, I couldn't tell whether this was news to Li Ho or not.... Well, that's the story.

"See plenty litty mat lice; too muchy plenty litty mat lice; sixty ton litty mat lice. I think all-e-time perhaps plenty opium plenty litty mat lice."

"Listen to her, ma, and then you blame me for not bringing any of the fellows round here for her to meet.

It seemed so strange for him to be there, just as much at home as if he had been one of the family. O, Di, you can't imagine how kind aunt Dorothy and uncle Joe were to him! They like him so muchy and they know we are engaged." Miss Halliday said these last words almost in a whisper.
You let a boy like Max Meltzer begin to keep steady with you and see what I say. You don't see no yellow streak in his face; he's as white as the goods he sells." "I know. I know. You think now because he's going to be made buyer for the white goods in September he's the whole show. Gee! nowadays that ain't so muchy much for a fellow to be."
The Chinese candle maker, who provided the Captain whenever he went on a pilgrimage to Antipolo, was saying as he sat fanning himself and wiggling his foot: "What for you b'long foolish?
