"If I'm really a stupid girl," repeated Ch'ing Wen, smiling sarcastically, "am I a fit person for you to hold converse with? Why, I'm purely and simply a slave-girl; that's all." "Are you, after all," cried Hsi Jen, at these words, "bickering with me, or with Master Secundus?
I couldn't presume henceforward to be on friendly terms with you, Master Secundus! You should treat me as if I were gone!" At these words, Pao-yue gave way to laughter. "Where are you off to?" he inquired. "I'm going back home," answered Tai-yue. "I'll go along with you then," smiled Pao-yue. "But if I die?" asked Tai-yue. "Well, if you die," rejoined Pao-yue, "I'll become a bonze."
You have adopted a right course, my dearest Secundus, in investigating the charges against the Christians who were brought before you. It is not possible to lay down any general rule for all such cases. Do not go out of your way to look for them. Anonymous information ought not to be received in any sort of prosecution.
"Cursed puppy," whispered St. Leger Smith. "Thinks himself knowing," squeaked Johnson secundus. "Thinks himself witty," growled Barlow primus. Notwithstanding this cabal, days rolled on at Burnsley Vicarage only to witness the increase of Vivian's popularity.
Just, however, as she was about to retrace her footsteps, she met an old matron, sent over by Madame Wang, who said to her: "Our mistress wants one of Master Secundus attendants to go and see her." Upon hearing this message, Hsi Jen communed with her own thoughts.
Mr. Fromm made room for grandmother and Lorand to pass before him up a narrow stone staircase, while he kept his hand continuously on my head, as if that were the part of me by which he could best hold me. "Veni puer. Hic puer secundus, filius meus." So there was a boy in the house, a new terror for me. "Est studiosus." What, that boy! That was good news: we could go to school together.
"But as it was a duplicate of that of Master Secundus, Mr. Pao-yue, I'm now simply called Hsiao Hung." Upon hearing this explanation, lady Feng raised her eyebrows into a frown, and turning her head round: "It's most disgusting!" she remarked, "Those bearing the name Yue would seem to be very cheap; for your name is Yue, and so is also mine Yue.
"I was just going to tell your ladyship," she smiled, "and here you come! What a strange coincidence!" "Tell me what?" lady Feng exclaimed. "That Mr. Secundus is at home," the girl replied, "and has done so and so." She then recounted to her all the incidents recorded a few minutes back. "Ts'ui!" ejaculated lady Feng. "What were you up to before?
There was, of course, some difficulty in keeping all things in order, but then Vivian Grey was such an excellent manager! and then, with infinite tact, the said manager conciliated the Classics, for he allowed St. Leger Smith to select a Greek motto, from the Andromache, for the front of the theatre; and Johnson secundus and Barlow primus were complimented by being allowed to act the chairmen.
As soon as she put the things away, she hurried to our house, and Master Secundus ordered me to keep an eye on your ladyship; but of what happened after that, I've no idea whatever." When these disclosures fell on lady Feng's ears, she flew into such a rage that her whole person felt quite weak; and, rising immediately, she straightway repaired home.
