So far as my own experience of natives has gone, I have found that in all the essential qualities of mind and body, they very much resemble white men, with the exception that they are, as a race, quicker-witted, more honest, and braver, than the ordinary run of white men.
"Toots, Toots!" she miowed on, for she wasn't much quicker-witted than the rest of her race. "No, thank you," thought I; "and if you want five o'clock toots for yourself, I advise you to come here for it." I thought this, but speak I really could not I was too busy lapping. It was delicious stuff!
Juan cast away the bit of rod still in his hand and rushed forward against his enemy, seeking to throttle him with his naked fingers. White Calf, quicker-witted of the two, slung the thong of his war club free from his crippled right hand, and, grasping the weapon in his left, still made play with it about his head.
"She ees reech because I am poor. Oh, yes! I know." "You don't know anything of the kind," said Nan flatly. "Does she, Rhoda?" "I I don't know what she means," stammered the girl from Rose Ranch. "I guess I understand something about it," said the quicker-witted Nan.
But the Woosters are quicker-witted than the ordinary and can read between the lines. I suddenly divined what it was that she was trying to get off the chest. "You mean there's someone else?" She nodded. "You're in love with some other bloke?" She nodded. "Engaged, what?" This time she shook the pumpkin. "No, not engaged." Well, that was something, of course.
She esteemed it quite an honor, however. "Fanchon Dodier!" said she, "I have lost my jewels at the ball; I cannot rest until I find them; you are quicker-witted than Lizette: tell me what to do to find them, and I will give you a dress fit for a lady." Angelique with innate craft knew that her question would bring forth the hoped-for reply.
And then, if they would listen, they were all the time listening very eagerly, she would give an outline of what she had intended to say, if the meeting had been held. At the close, when all had departed, it dawned upon some of the quicker-witted ones that they "had got the preachment from the woman preacher, after all."
