Louise did her best to appear nonchalant as he picked his way carefully across the slippery, wagon-rutted road, and Sid, after a longing glance toward the iron fence which surrounded the home lot, decided to brazen matters out. "'Nother chop-suey sundae?" John sneered as he eyed his rival scornfully. "'Tain't fair, always talking about that," blurted Sid.
"But where are we going, anyhow?" Bob demanded. "This looks like a chop-suey joint." "Hush!" cautioned Ikey again. "Some of the fellows may be around. There is a Chinese restaurant upstairs." "And what's downstairs?" asked Andy. "Why, Hashmi had to hire a vacant room to put the packing box in when it came from Japan," explained Ikey. "It was too big to take up to his joint.
O'Brien sprang to his feet: "My interpreter says your interpreter is an opium smuggler, that he murdered his aunt in Hong Kong, that he isn't a doctor at all, and that he never graduated from anything except a chop-suey joint," he interjected. "This is outrageous!" cried Mr. Tutt, palpably shocked at such language. "Gentlemen! Gentlemen!" groaned Judge Bender. "What am I to do?

Pray remember that South Clark Street embraces the dime lodging house, pawnshop, hotel, theater, chop-suey and railway office district, all within a few blocks. From the sidewalk in front of his groggery, "Bath House John" can see the City Hall. The trim, khaki-garbed enlistment officer rubs elbows with the lodging house bum.
This same grain is eaten in many lands; taken in one way or another, it is said to be the principal food of about one half of all the people in the world. Bob didn't eat his in soup or pudding or chop-suey. He used neither spoon nor chop-sticks.
"In which case he will or shall have been there whatever the verb is," agreed Tutt. "Anyhow they'll tax every laundry and chop-suey palace from the Bronx to the Battery to pay us." "I'd hate to take our fee in bird's-nest soup, shark's fin, bamboo-shoots salad and ya ko main," mused Mr. Tutt. "Or in ivory chopsticks, oolong tea, imitation jade, litchi nuts and preserved leeches!" groaned Tutt.
