They are quite safe. Kindly wait till one o'clock." "I must understand what you mean, Mr. Li Chang," said Winter sternly; for some reason, he distrusted the smooth-spoken jute merchant. "Why have you visited these two houses, and not 412? And what do we gain by waiting here any longer? We must have been seen, and our purpose guessed." "No," came the somewhat surprising answer.
Four-forty, whispering again, and the gavel drops. The Honourable Giles Henderson of Kingston has . . 412 The Honourable Humphrey Crewe of Leith has . . . 325 The Honourable Adam B. Hunt of Edmundton has. . . 250 And there is no choice on the third ballot! Thirteen delegates are actually missing this time. Scour the town! And now even the newspaper adjectives describing the scene have given out.
The geologist made his calculations, and said: "You will go through so many feet of Bagshot sand; and so many feet of London clay; and so many feet of the Thanet beds between them and the chalk: and then you will win water, at about 412 feet; but not, I think, till then." The well-sinker laughed at that, and said, "He had no opinion of geologists, and such-like.
Men were running from the detachment guarding the rear of the premises to say that a fierce fire was raging on the first floor back of No. 412. "Smash in those three doors!" cried Winter to his helpers. "Drag out every Chinaman you meet! Handcuff them in threes and fours!

Any one who compares the consular Fasti before and after 412 will have no doubt as to the existence of the above-mentioned law respecting re-election to the consulate; for, while before that year a return to office, especially after three or four years, was a common occurrence, afterwards intervals of ten years and more were as frequent.
+412+. Leaving aside a few other notices that add nothing to our knowledge of the point under consideration, we should naturally conclude, if we give any credit to the statements of Servius and Macrobius, that there was a report in their time of a bisexual deity in Cyprus. As regards Vergil's "deus," that may be merely a poetical expression of the eminence and potency of the goddess.
Thenceforth, the police could do nothing beyond keeping at a distance the crowds which soon gathered, and thus clear a space for the operations of the fire brigade. No. 412 was thoroughly gutted. Not a shred of the building remained except the crumbling walls at front and back.
Consequently, if you broke open the door of 412 you would find the way barred by two other locked doors, while the occupants, if aroused, could escape from either or both of the next houses. We Chinese have a long acquaintance with the needs of a secret society. You may take it from me that the obvious way into or out of an opium den, for instance, is never the way used by the habitues."
See, e.g., Westermarck, Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas, vol. ii, pp. 412 et seq.
