Jumping off the canal-boat upon the lock, he ran up to the first man he met, and, thrusting forward his face, cried out, "Talk Eengeesh?" "Yes," said the man; "do you talk English?" "Ya-as." From that time forward he always bore the name of Talk-English, and was registered on the pay-rolls by a title of which he was not a little proud.
Life is interesting for a rich for any man in England. Ya-as! Life in England is like settin' in the front row at the theatre and never knowin' when the whole blame drama won't spill itself into your lap. I didn't always know that.

Ya-as.... After lunch Walen did his crowned-heads-of-Europe stunt in the smokin'-room here. He was long on Kings. And Continental crises.

"There's only one thing we'd ask of you, sir: don't let our people know anything about this." "But why?" asked the adjutant, astonished. "You've saved his life, and it ought to be known." "Ya-as, that may be, sir; but we're not supposed to be up here sharp-shootin' we jist done it fer a bit of sport. Rightly we don't carry a rifle; we belong to the bridge-buildin' section.
'I hired this off of my Lord Marshalton, Zigler explained, while they helped us out of our coats under the severe eyes of ruffed and periwigged ancestors. 'Ya-as.
