The heathen looked at her with a grin and said, "Allee light, you no likee my washee, you washee yousel'," and lifting the boiler from the stove he emptied its entire steaming contents out upon the floor! He then went to his own room, gathered up his few clothes and bedding, and started off.
Having bought a fowl from a native in a canoe, the native asked me if I wanted "Pickaninny stop along him fella." It was not until he showed me a handful of hen's eggs that I understood his meaning. My word, as an exclamation with a thousand significances, could have arrived from nowhere else than Old England. A paddle, a sweep, or an oar, is called washee, and washee is also the verb.
You no Pilat you allee same tunnel man you Bob Johnson! Me shabbee you! You dressee up allee same as Led Lofer but you Bob Johnson allee same. My fader washee washee for you. You no payee him. You owee him folty dolla! Me blingee you billee. You no payee billee! You say, 'Chalkee up, John. You say, 'Bimeby, John. But me no catchee folty dolla!"
Plenty musket he stop, plenty powder, plenty tomahawk, plenty knife-fee, plenty porpoise teeth, plenty tobacco, plenty calico my word, too much plenty everything we take 'm along whale-boat, washee like hell, sun he come up we long way too much." "Me catch 'm pig sun he go down," spoke up one whose thin falsetto voice Joan recognized as belonging to Cosse, one of Gogoomy's tribesmen.
With a recollection of past pain, and an obscure suspicion of impending danger, she asked him when he had left Fiddletown. "Longee time. No likee Fiddletown, no likee Tlevelick. Likee San Flisco. Likee washee. Likee Tally." Ah Fe's laconics pleased Mrs. Tretherick. She did not stop to consider how much an imperfect knowledge of English added to his curt directness and sincerity.
"No washee," said the Christian Chinaman; "you killed Melican man's Joss," meaning that the Jews crucified the Christ. The more you delve into the religions of the Americans the more anomalies you find. I asked a New York lady at Newport if she had ever met Miss , a prominent Chinese missionary. She had never heard of her, and considered most missionaries very ordinary persons.
"No, no," said the clerk, with a laugh. "I was only thinking five hundred dollars would represent the washing of a good many shirts." "No leplesent washee shirts at all! Catchee gold-dust when washee tailings. Shabbee?" The clerk DID "shabbee," and lifted his eyebrows. The next Saturday See Yup appeared with another package, worth about four hundred dollars, directed to the same consignee.
"Me washee shilts; me talkee 'buttons." "Oh! you're See Yup, are you?" "Allee same, John." "Well, come here." I continued my work, but he did not move. "Come here, hang it! Don't you understand?" "Me shabbee, 'comme yea. But me no shabbee Mellican boy, who catchee me, allee same. YOU 'comme yea' YOU shabbee?"
Washee him piecie pants, chow-chow top-side see, John?" With his mouth and hands he made exuberant motions of eating rice and washing clothes; and the Chinaman, who concealed his distrust of this pantomime under a collected demeanour tinged by a gentle and refined melancholy, glanced out of his almond eyes from Jukes to the hatch and back again.
"Wang no likee your church," he answered coolly. "Pisplykal church heap lot better; smell good, sound good." He paused, then added, with a cunning twinkle in his little dark eyes, "Make heap washee for washee-shop." And, turning on his heel, he marched off towards the kitchen, with the air of a man who had solved vast economic problems. The August sun was shining down from a cloudless sky.
