Now ablutinists say, 'Hand me dat piller, you darned rascal, and den make yourself skase, you is as black as de debbil's hind leg. And den she say "'Trow dat scarf over my ankles, to keep de bominable flies off. Tankee, Sorrow; you is far more handier dan Aunt Dolly is.
Washermen in India, in general, wash their linen at the ghats, and their dogs of course wander thither from home after them, and back again.

The Khabar-dars are a species of spies stationed in various parts of oriental kingdoms in order to forward intelligence to head quarters.
She wanted me to cut off my mustache, and I told her I wouldn't do that for no girl that ever punched a piller." "What did she want you to do that for, do you reckon?"

"Lots of 'em, miss," Becky answered in quite a matter-of-fact manner. "There mostly is rats an' mice in attics. You gets used to the noise they makes scuttling about. I've got so I don't mind 'em s' long as they don't run over my piller." "Ugh!" said Sara. "You gets used to anythin' after a bit," said Becky. "You have to, miss, if you're born a scullery maid.
