The colder it got the oftener he sang: "Like Argus of the ancient times, We leave this Modern Greece; Tum-tum, tum-tum; tum-tum, tum-tum, To shear the Golden Fleece."

I mean long ago, in Captain Cook's time?" The old chief held up five fingers, for answer. "And you and your cousins were friendly to all of them?" "Maquinna's heart good, too, close tum-tum. Sell land to one Cappen; he go 'way. Sell land to other Cappen; he go 'way, too. Bime-by two Cappens come back, quarrel 'bout the land. Maquinna no say anything.
'Talk! will that do it? cried Lady Eveleen, springing up. 'We will begin this moment. Come out on the lawn. Here, Charles, wheeling him along, 'No, thank you, I like it, as Guy was going to help her. 'There, Charles, be fiddler go on, tum-tum, tee! that'll do. Amy, Laura, be ladies. I'm the other gentleman, and she stuck on her hat in military style, giving it a cock.
"You boys are simply horrid, don't you know!" cried Tubbs, and, pushing his way through the crowd, he walked to the other end of the boat. "Being away from school hasn't done Tubby any good," was Fred Garrison's remark. "He thinks he's the High Tum-Tum, and no mistake."

In the Chinook vocabulary, which was originally the trade language of all the tribes employed by the Hudson Bay Company in collecting furs, most of the words resemble in sound the objects they represent. For example, a wagon in Chinook is chick-chick, a clock is ding-ding, a crow is kaw-kaw, a duck, quack-quack, a laugh, tee-hee; the heart is tum-tum, and a talk or speech or sermon, wah-wah.
Dale tried to read in the darkening light. Presently he heard a sniff. The sniff grew louder. "My froat," said Penelope. He glanced towards her. She was sitting huddled up; her back looked very round. "Do go away, child. What is wrong?" "My froat. I want something to moisten it. It is so dry, it hurts me." "Go and get a drink of water." "Oh, my froat! Oh, my tum-tum!
Life there is not all work, however, and its social conditions are very attractive. From the time when his "tum-tum" arrives at the close of office-hours and the "Sahib" bowls merrily homewards, a new life begins.

"Miss Penelope," said the nurse, "if those symptoms are correct, it is the doctor you want." "'I has a doubly-up pain in my tum-tum," proceeded Penelope, taking no notice of nurse's interruption. "'I shrieks in my sleep. I wants change of air. I am very poorly. Nursey is writing this, and she knows I am very poorly. I feel sort of as though I could cry. It's not only my body, it's my mind.
Then I've got a great idea for the fifth verse; each of the dogs will be led on by a Nut, and Cousin Teresa will come on from the opposite side, crossing en route, always effective, and then she turns round and leads the whole lot of them off on a string, and all the time every one singing like mad: Cousin Teresa takes out Caesar Fido, Jock, and the big borzoi. Tum-Tum!
Then the drum was heard, "Túm-tum túm-tum túm-tum túm-tum " There was a volley of war-whoops, and out of the teepees dashed the Sanger Indians in full war paint.
