I don't know 'ow Mother 'Oward 's got the 'ole lingo, and everybody in town knows about it. Whenever anybody wants to get anything real straight from Crazy Laura, they make 'er write it. That part of 'er brain seems all right. She remembers everything she does then and 'ow crazy it is, and tells you all about it." "But why did n't Farrell insist upon that tonight?"
"'E could n't have gotten 'er to do it. And nobody can get 'er to do it as long has Squint's around so Mother 'Oward says. 'E 's got a influence about 'im. And she does exactly what 'e 'll sye all 'e 's got to do is to look at 'er. Notice 'ow flustered up she got when the coroner asked 'er about that book?" "I wonder what it would really tell?" Harry chuckled. "Nobody knows.
"'Blow me! 'e sez, 'if that blooming cannibal don't talk the King's English as if 'e was born in New York! 'E 'ad 'im down in the cabin to 'ave a drink, thinking 'e was a big chief. 'Oward took a cigar and smoked it and drank 'is whiskey with a gulp and a wry face like all Americans. "'I must say, sez the captain, 'you're the most intelligent 'eathen I've seen in the 'ole blooming run.
This one, she has her good p'ints about her, as clean a foot and ankle as I'd wish to see; but, laws, what a nose, Mr. 'Oward! And then for manner; she's no more manner than a stable dog." "She's in London, Billy?" "How am I to know, Mr. 'Oward?" "What's the good, then, of your coming here?" asked Gager, with no little severity in his voice. "I don't know as it is good.
No, Boy, there must 'ave been a fight but don't think that I mean your father murdered anybody. If Sissie Larsen attacked 'im with a gun, then 'e 'ad a right to kill. But as I 've told you before there would n't 'ave been a chance for 'im to prove 'is story with Squint working against 'im. And that's one reason why I did n't ask any questions. And neither did Mother 'Oward.
"I never quit in my life!" Harry straightened in his chair and his mustache stuck forth pugnaciously. Mother Howard looked down at him, pressed her lips, then smiled. "No," she announced, "except to run away like a whipped pup after you 'd gotten a poor lonely boarding-house keeper in love with you!" "Mother 'Oward, I 'll "
Harry was Harry he had done enough in crossing the seas to help him. And already, in the eyes of Fairchild, Harry was swiftly approaching that place where he could do no wrong. "You 're wonderful, Harry," came at last. The Cornishman puffed with pride. "I'm a cuckoo!" he admitted. "Where's Mother 'Oward? Where's Mother 'Oward? Won't I knock 'er eyes out, now?"
It may be, my ears are the longer. I 'ave 'eard. You don't expect me to tell you more than just that. I 'ave 'eard. It was a pretty thing, wasn't it? But I wasn't in it myself, more's the pity. You can't expect fairer than that, Mr. 'Oward?" "And what have you heard?" "Them diamonds is gone where none of you can get at 'em. That five hundred pounds as the lawyers 'ave offered is just nowhere.
He stepped airily into the room, and as he did so he addressed our friend the policeman with much cordiality. "My dear Mr. 'Oward," he said, "this is a pleasure. This is a pleasure. This is a pleasure." "What is it to be?" asked Gager. "Well; ay, what? Shall I say a little port wine negus, with the nutmeg in it rayther strong?"
'Oward, pleasures should never be made necessities, when the circumstances of a gentleman's life may perhaps require that they shall be abandoned for prolonged periods. In your line of life, Mr. 'Oward, which has its objections, smoking may be pretty well a certainty."
