"How long ago?" asked Miles, eagerly. "Two hours," answered Ah Jim.
Sky-High's heart bounded at these pledges of friendship, and he leaped about in a way that made the parrot laugh sometimes he had the parrot in his cabin, and taught it Chinese words. "The sun shines for all, the earth blossoms for all," he said to the children; "it is only the heart that needs washee-washee and smoothee-smoothee. Everything will be better by and by.
