Amah. That chain very ispensive, Daisy.
Daisy. What do I care? Let him sell it for what it'll fetch. It'll bring me luck. [To the old man.] You sabe?
Amah. I think he understand all right.
Daisy. [Looking at the children.] Aren't they sweet? And so solemn. [To the Amah.] You go chop-chop to the toy shop opposite and buy them some toys.
Amah. Can do.

Daisy. [Charmingly.] Now you come and talk to me. Sit very still now or you'll fall off. [To the little boy.] I wonder how old you are. [To the old man.] Wu? Liu?
