And right on top of the nearest coconut tree, with a hatchet in one hand and a cell phone in the other, was a local toddy tapper, who proceeded to bring down the coconuts for us to drink.

He asked if I wanted fresh coconut water;I said yes, and he pulled out his cellphone and dialed the local toddy tapper.

Mr. Bob Sawyer looked expressively at his friend, and bade the tapper come in; whereupon a dirty, slipshod girl in black cotton stockings, who might have passed for the neglected daughter of a superannuated dustman in very reduced circumstances, thrust in her head, and said--'Please, Mister Sawyer, Missis Raddle wants to speak to you.'Before Mr. Bob Sawyer could return any answer, the girl suddenly disappeared with a jerk, as if somebody had given her a violent pull behind; this mysterious exit was no sooner accomplished, than there was another tap at the door--a smart, pointed tap, which seemed to say,'Here I am, and in I'm coming.'

There was another tap, and another, and then a long row of taps; upon which Sam inquired why the tapper was not admitted.
