But at the loud crackle and flash of the fusee, and Smith's gesture to lay it close to the eye-piece, they turned and fled yelling once more into the houses on either side, from which now came an addition to the noise, in the shrill howls and shrieks of women, who were evidently resenting the invasion of all these men. "Now, walkee far," cried Ching. "No good no mo'. Allee fun lun out.
"Ching just come ask young genelman likee walkee walkee." "Yes, allee likee walkee walkee velly much," said Barkins, imitating the Chinaman's squeak. "Why? Can you give us leave?" Ching shook his head. "Go ask offlicer. Go for walkee walkee, take Ching; you likee see something velly nice ploper?" "Yes," I cried eagerly. "Can you take us to see a Chinese theatre?" Ching closed his eyes and nodded.
"Now, say I want to speak to the captain," said Mr Brooke. A showily-dressed Chinaman leaned over the side of the huge tower of a poop, and smiled down on us. "Are you the captain?" cried Mr Brooke, and Ching interpreted. "Say he the captain," said Ching; "and you please walkee up top sidee big junk." "Yes, it will be better," cried Mr Brooke. "Come with me, Herrick. You too, Ching, of course.
"It is very curious," said Rudolph, trying polite conversation, "how they paint so the eyes on their jonks." "No eyes, no can see; no can see, no can walkee," chanted Heywood in careless formula. "I say," he complained suddenly, "you're not going to 'study the people, and all that rot? We're already fed up with missionaries. Their cant, I mean; no allusion to cannibalism."
"Walkee walkee walkee one." "Traveled at night!" I interrupted. "Two nights! You couldn't do it in two nights!" "Walkee walkee walkee one sleep," he repeated. "Three nights!" Four times he hobbled across the floor, which meant he had come afoot the whole distance, traveling only at night.
"Velly nice beautiful place; ought to come here last night." "Yes, capital. We can hide here; and once inside, if we had arms, we could keep the wretches at a distance." "Don'tee want fight now," said Ching, quietly. "No swold, no shoot gun, no jolly sailor boy. Wantee eat and dlink." "Yes; let's get poor Jecks here at once." "You go fetch him; tly to walkee now: Ching go fetch eat, dlink."
Plenty time lockee up Missy topside house; no can walkee no can talkee no hab got how can get? must washee washee allee same Chinaman. Ole man go dead Missy all lightee now. Plenty fun. Plenty stay in Blown's big house, top-side hill; Blown first-chop man." Had he inquired he might have found this pagan testimony, for once, corroborated by the Christian neighbors.
"I no 'fraid," he declared. "P'laps master no savee. Sui-fu b'long velly big place, have got plenty European. You wantchee makee go fast, catchee plenty good 'chow. I think you catchee one piecee boat, makee go up the river. P'laps I think you have got velly tired no wantchee makee more walkee that no b'long ploper. That b'long all same fool pidgin." And at last I melted.
If walkee back no paper, too muchee John catchee hellee, reaping only reproaches and no tikkie at all. Judge how the heart of W. Keyse bumped against the concertina when the slender vision in the holland skirt and white blouse and broad straw hat appeared from underground.
Up the road he went, without stopping again, as though he had resolved to cross the Pyrenees in that one night, and be over in France by morning: of whom it might be said, in the words of the Chinese poet, "That young man walkee no can stop." Another hour brought him a good four miles farther on, and still he kept up the same pace.
