"Well, Ossy," asked Caspar, who was the first to speak, "what news? Have you seen anything more of the rogue?" "Ah, rogue indeed!" replied Ossaroo, in a tone expressive of some secret fear.

"We don't want you to run that risk, Aboh," said Charley, "but still we wish you to find some other way." "Me tinkee, me tinkee, now go sleep," answered Aboh, by which we understood that he would consider the matter and let us know the result of his cogitations in the morning.
The man only answered with a volley of oaths, but no further information could we draw from him. We therefore left him to his own reflections, while we hastened back to Rose, whom we found seated by her prisoner. "He stay berry quiet," she said, "an' me no tinkee he run 'way."
