Are you wild Indians ? or letters that have gone round the world before finding the right address ? '' she asked , laughing at the ridiculous sight , for both were as sober as judges and deeply absorbed in some doubtful specimen . `` Oh , we just stuck them there to keep them safe ; they get lost if we leave them lying round . It 's very handy , for I can see in a minute what I want on Jill 's face and she on mine , and put our fingers on the right chap at once , '' answered Jack , adding , with an anxious gaze at his friend 's variegated countenance , `` Where the dickens is my New Granada ? It 's rare , and I would n't lose it for a dollar . '' `` Why , there it is on your own nose . Do n't you remember you put it there because you said mine was not big enough to hold it ? '' laughed Jill , tweaking a large orange square off the round nose of her neighbor , causing it to wrinkle up in a droll way , as the gum made the operation slightly painful . `` So I did , and gave you Little Bolivar on yours . Now I 'll have Alsace and Lorraine , 1870 . There are seven of them , so hold still and see how you like it , '' returned Jack , picking the large , pale stamps one by one from Jill 's forehead , which they crossed like a band . She bore it without flinching , saying to herself with a secret smile , as she glanced at the hot fire , which scorched her if she kept near enough to Jack to help him , `` This really is being like a missionary , with a tattooed savage to look after . I have to suffer a little , as the good folks did who got speared and roasted sometimes ; but I wo n't complain a bit , though my forehead smarts , my arms are tired , and one cheek is as red as fire . '' `` The Roman States make a handsome page , do n't they ? '' asked Jack , little dreaming of the part he was playing in Jill 's mind . `` Oh , I say , is n't Corea a beauty ? I 'm ever so proud of that ; '' and he gazed fondly on a big blue stamp , the sole ornament of one page . `` I do n't see why the Cape of Good Hope has pyramids . They ought to go in Egypt .
The Sandwich Islands are all right , with heads of the black kings and queens on them , '' said XXXXX , feeling that they were very appropriate to her private play .
