I think the correct answer to your question would be:
"Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'" said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me."
and
Her husband drew the talisman from his pocket, and all three burst into laughter as the Sergeant-Major, with a look of alarm on his face, caught him by the arm.
In these parts it shows that they use sarcasm and also laugh at Sergeant-Major.
Hope I've helped!
