I tell you, she's a peeler.
I said, "I'll send the first sane soul I meet to keep you company." As luck would have it, I never met one, only kids, and a baker, who wouldn't leave his cart, or take it with him either. I'd covered pretty nearly two miles before I came across a peeler, and when I did the man was cracked and he thought me mad, or drunk, or both.
No one made any remark, or offered any suggestion; they simply stared with all their eyes and souls, absorbed in the unbought excitement of the spectacle. They were helpless, idealess, interested and unconcerned. "Run and fetch a peeler, Bill," said Tommy at last. "Peeler be hanged! Bloomin' likely I am to find a peeler. Fetch him yourself."
When we had progressed in this fashion some hundred or so yards, I perceived a City policeman advancing towards us. "'Come, now, I said to myself, 'we shall see some fun the 1911 copper meeting the peeler of 1840. I wonder what he will think of him.
As one instance to the point I may mention that when attending as a member of the Representative Assembly at Mysore in 1891, I happened to meet the Dewan and some of his officers in the veranda outside the great hall where our meetings were held, and his attention was attracted to a coffee peeler the invention of a native who thought this a good opportunity for introducing his machines to the notice of the public, and had some cherry coffee at hand to show how they worked.
Two young American people meeting, shaking hands, and courteously greeting each other was an unusual sight to me, but after all a natural one. He was glad to come again. We went at once to dinner. I wondered from where the new "chefess" and her assistant "potato peeler" had procured the materials necessary to so pretentious a meal.

"Hokar is poor: Hokar need money," he whined in a monotone, but with his eyes glancing restlessly round the shop. "Give Hokar give," and he held out the laces. "Don't want any, I tell you," shouted Bart, tartly. "I'll call a peeler if you don't git."
The Kid was a hewer and packer of wood, I was a peeler and slicer of things, and Bill, sweetly oblivious of his bewhiskered dignity, danced about in the humblest of moods, handing this and that to the grub-lords. "You outfitted like greenhorns!" announced the usurpers. "What you want is raw material. Run down to the boat, please, and bring me this! Oh, yes, and bring me that!
