"Eet ees a veree strange game thees baseball," said Juanita, turning to Teresa. "Do you understand eet?" "Never mind her," said Madge Morton, pulling at Carker's sleeve. "Why do you pay her so much attention?" "Do you wish to know?" he asked, in a low tone. "Then I'll tell you. I'm in love with her." The woman looked at him with incredulous eyes, then threw back her head and laughed.
Kada was waiting in the doorway, bowing stiffly, sucking in his breath, beaming; the cook just behind him, following him in sound and gesture, and the Japanese gardener, hat in hand, stood at the foot of the steps as she passed to say, "How-do? Veree glod! Veree glod! Tha's nize you coming home! Veree glod!" Honor shook hands with them all.
I saw one, just once, for a leetle minute; while you could breathe so short as that; and began with Cheri, or your English for that, and ended with words Oh, ver much like these: You may nevaire see these lines, which was ver interesting, veree so, and made one want to see what she did with letters she wrote and nevaire mail; so I watch and look, and one day I see them.
"Oh, the girl she not have you because of that?" breathed Juanita. "Eet ees veree strange." "Not so very strange," he asserted. "We'll say that she was a lady.

"Mees Fern know too much," said Otoyo, making what she called a "scare face" by wrinkling her nose and screwing up her mouth. "Mees Fern veree crosslee sometimes." "Adverbs, adverbs, Otoyo," admonished Molly. "Excusa-me," said Otoyo. "It is when I become a little warm here in my brain that I grow adverbial." Molly laughed.
Your mother she nice and well?" "Very." "He have her photograph on his dressing-table. Veree beautiful." Jon gulped down his tea. This woman, with her concerned face and her reminding words, was like the first and second murderers. "Thank you," he said; "I must go now. May may I leave this with you?" He put a ten-shilling note on the tray with a doubting hand and gained the door.

She brought in a little pot of tea with two cups, and a silver box of cigarettes on a little tray. "Sugar? Miss Forsyte has much sugar she buy my sugar, my friend's sugar also. Miss Forsyte is a veree kind lady. I am happy to serve her. You her brother?"
He included Amber affably in his confidences. "By Gad, sar, thees climate iss most trying to person of my habits. The journey hither via causeway from mainland was veree fearful. Thee sea is most agitated. You observe my wetness from association with spray. I am of opinion if I am not damn-careful I jolly well catch-my-death on return. But thatt is all in day's work."
If I could tell the judge I think he is a man of business too he would know that too, for sure. I am not so young. I am not so veree beautiful as all that; he must see, mustn't he, sir?" At my wits' end how to answer that most strange question, I stammered out: "But, you know, your profession is outside the law." At that a slow anger dyed her face.
See you in the morning, then." He strolled away, fanning himself. Trent lit a long cigar. "I understand," he said turning to Oom Sam, "that old Monty is alive still. If so, it's little short of a miracle, for I left him with scarcely a gasp in his body, and I was nearly done myself. "It was," Oom Sam said, "veree wonderful.
