When one's love time comes, nothing else in the world matters; every other consideration goes phut, as it should." "Goes what?" "Goes to blazes, then, as it should." "As it should," echoed Mavis. "Dear little Mavis!" smiled Windebank, "But it's big Mavis now." He called the waiter, to give him a note with which to pay the bill. "What wicked waste!" remarked Mavis in an undertone.
It made the cell very bright, and by the glare the colonel gathered up a number of the cigarettes. Some had been smoked down to a mere stub; others had not been lighted, and two or three were broken in half, neither end showing signs of either having been scorched by a match or wet by the lips of Singa Phut. "Queer he'd waste 'em that way," observed Donovan.
"Singa Phut!" cried both his auditors. "Yes. Suppose, after he had left the watch to be repaired with young Darcy, the East Indian happened to think that he had not warned against winding it up, which a jeweler would be most apt to do after making repairs. Singa Phut had no reason for wishing harm to Darcy. He may have come to the store late at night intending to warn him to be careful."
In fact, it was the opinion of Colonel Ashley that some form of snake poison was used, though what it was, no one could say. And so passed out and beyond Singa Phut, and the charge of murder, having been quashed by a higher tribunal than that of the county court, the matter was soon forgotten.

And I would like to ask that East Indian something about that queer watch." Donovan was at headquarters, it being his night "on," and he welcomed the detective as some one with whom he might hold converse.
You know that rule as well as I. The guest is right always. I'll send up the linen-room keys. You get fresh blankets; new ones. And no arguments. But I want to see those those vile " "Listen, Mis' Phut." Irish Nellie's voice, until now shrill with righteous anger, dropped a discreet octave. "I seen 'em. An' they are vile. Wait a minnit! But why?
The streets along which Phut and the slave passed were narrow for the greater part, crooked and full of holes.
I can't understand what makes it go, unless some one got in and wound it and they wouldn't do that." "Whose watch is it?" asked Thong. "It belongs to Singa Phut." "Singa Phut!" ejaculated Carroll. "Crimps, what a name! Who belongs to it?" "Singa Phut is an East Indian," explained Darcy. "He has a curio store down on Water Street.
