"Oh, eightee for the two?" He nodded. "Well, where's the other?" "Hein?" "The other the third dog. Two are no good." "Yes. Yes," he said angrily, "heap good dog." For answer, a head-shake, the outstretched hand, and the words, "Eightee dolla tabak tea." "Wait," interrupted the Boy, turning to the group of children; "where's the other dog?" Nobody answered. The Boy pantomimed. "We want three dogs."
Tobacco-worship seems to us to culminate in the following stanza from a German song: "Tabak ist mein Leben, Dem hab' ich mich ergeben, ergeben; Tabak ist meine Lust. Und eh' ich ihn sollt' lassen, Viel lieber wollt' ich hassen, Ja, hassen selbst eines Mädchens Kuss."
Last of all came the women and children, the women carrying, hung round their necks in front, baskets of tabak and roots which they called petah, no doubt the potato, and boiled fishes. Their baskets, formed of dried grass, were neatly woven, the edges ornamented with mother-of-pearl and shells; while on the sides were interwoven red feathers in various devices.
In front marched a fine-looking man of large size, carrying a heavy black club, to which was suspended two feather crowns and three chains of great length, made of bone highly polished, and a bag containing tabak.

Hein?"
I have smoked many a pound of tabak with him." Peveril now remembered that Fenella had been brought into the family when he and the young Earl were in England, and while the Countess was absent on an expedition to the continent.
There's a village here, Colonel! Nig! Colonel, don't do it!" He dashed into the circle of firelight, and beheld Nig standing with a bandaged paw, placidly eating softened biscuit out of the family frying-pan. It was short work getting down to the village. They had one king salmon and two white fish from the first Indian they saw, who wanted hootch for them, and got only tabak.
It was constructed of rough stones and stakes, so that with their guns and crossbows it might easily be defended against any number of assailants. At the end of two days a still larger number of people than before appeared in the distance, men, women, and children, who brought with them, as they had before, feathers and bags of tabak, as propitiatory offerings.
He is devoting himself to Hottentot and aboriginal literature! and has actually mastered the Caffre click, which I vainly practised under Kleenboy's tuition. He taught me to throw stones or a stick at him, which he always avoided, however close they fell, and cried 'Tkorkha! The Caffres ask for a present, 'Tkzeelah Tabak', 'a gift for tobacco'.
