With a moan he buried his face in his pillow; for at the end of the room he saw a grim phantom whom, he felt sure, the doubly accursed Quong Lee had maliciously admitted. The old man should pay dearly for this on the morrow!
When Ah Moy staggered into his den several hours later, Quong Lee, who had arrived on the scene, noted with much satisfaction the ghastly appearance of his friend. "'If he keeps this up for any length of time, thought the learned man, 'I shall be spared the performance of a very unpleasant act. Murder is not in my line now anyway.

Quong observes every thing, and asks endless questions about what he sees. Many of the principal people here are Irish. On St. Patrick's Day, R told him that he was going to take Margie to see the procession, and that he could go too; but he said, with an air of immense superiority, that he did not care to go and see the "whiskey men;" he would rather stop at home, and do his work.

I have read your East Side Sketches, and like 'em immensely.
"'Most excellent and revered sage, replied Ah Moy dryly, 'pardon the unheard-of negligence, and generously deign to overlook the thoughtlessness of your sorrowing servant do that; and, Quong Lee, you must help me! Quickly! Quickly! I want a poison such as you can easily distil. A mixture so deadly that the slightest contact with it is fatal! Give me that, I pray you, and let me go. Hurry! Hurry!
Port-Captain Leavitt has all the native labor at the airport and spaceport herded into a repair dock; he's keeping them covered with the forward 90-mm. gun of the Northern Star. Lorry-hangars, repair-shops and maintenance-yards don't answer." "That's what I was going to ask you. Good enough. Harry Quong, Hassan Bogdanoff!" His command-car crew front-and-centered.
