"No, your highness; I learnt this only yesterday from Maina Bibi, Karim's own sister; Piyari Bibi, Sádhu's daughter; and Nasiban Bibi, his sister-in-law, who all lived with the deceased." The Government Pleader at once objected to this statement being recorded, as it was hearsay.
Guy tried afterward to comfort the red eyelids and tremulous lips, "do you want a table so full it takes your appetite at sight?" "I'm afraid I can't joke about disgrace!" Bessie quivered. "But, Bibi dear, Mrs. Grey is simply behind the times. The rationale of those enormous meals was not munificence, but that a horde of house-servants had to be fed at a second table."
I say, Polonius, you really are unlucky, each time you come up against Bibi Daubrecq! For it was you who were hiding behind that curtain, wasn't it, my ill-starred Polonius?" Lupin did not stir a muscle.
He slapped Arkady on the back, and called him loudly 'nephew'; vouchsafed Bazarov who was attired in a rather old evening coat a sidelong glance in passing absent but condescending and an indistinct but affable grunt, in which nothing could be distinguished but 'I ... and 'very much'; gave Sitnikov a finger and a smile, though with his head already averted; even to Madame Kukshin, who made her appearance at the ball with dirty gloves, no crinoline, and a bird of Paradise in her hair, he said 'enchanté. There were crowds of people, and no lack of dancing men; the civilians were for the most part standing close along the walls, but the officers danced assiduously, especially one of them who had spent six weeks in Paris, where he had mastered various daring interjections of the kind of 'zut, 'Ah, fichtr-re, 'pst, pst, mon bibi, and such.
Long placards, nailed on wood, were standing quite out in the street by the side of the gutter. "Here we are!" said Lantier. "Mademoiselle Amanda makes her debut tonight." Bibi-la-Grillade was reading the placard. Bibi had a black eye, as if he had been fighting. "Hallo!" cried Lantier. "How are you? Where is Coupeau? Have you lost him?" "Yes, since yesterday.
The Canadian started up. "And she has been so good to you whilst I have been away!" said he. "Put the little ones to bed, Bibi. I'll go up to the 'Steps' and see if I can find out what she is at." "I wish you would," said Bibi. "I am quite anxious about her; but come back as soon as you can." Boulanger kissed his wife and children, and then, shouldering his rifle, he quitted the cottage.
Then she would leave the room, but return ten minutes later to resume the contest. This continued throughout her squandering of my money a squandering altogether out of proportion to our means. An example is the way in which she changed her first pair of horses for a pair which cost sixteen thousand francs. "Bibi," she said on the latter occasion as she approached me, "surely you are not angry?"
This from H. Pidd! Then back to Paris home, the place of her birth. Fresh conquests. Maria came ostensibly to congratulate her on her success, but in reality to insult her. "Ma petite," she said, sneering, "l'hibou est-il sur le haie?" Quick as thought Bibi turned round and replied with a gay toss of her curls, "Non, mais j'ai la plume de ma tante!" Oh, witty, sharp-tongued Bibi!
This solitary passage was very different from that joyful down-journey in the third-class with the lama. 'Sahibs get little pleasure of travel, he reflected. 'Hai mai! I go from one place to another as it might be a kickball. It is my Kismet. No man can escape his Kismet. But I am to pray to Bibi Miriam, and I am a Sahib. He looked at his boots ruefully. 'No; I am Kim.
But when they arrived before the "Little Civet," which was just opening, they entered to have a plum in brandy, only one, merely to drink together to the firm observance of a good resolution. On a bench opposite the counter, and with his back against the wall, Bibi-the-Smoker was sitting smoking with a sulky look on his face. "Hallo! Here's Bibi having a snooze," said Coupeau.
