Only bit by bit did Laura dig out their meaning: then, the horrible truth lay bare. Chinky had been dismissed privately because she was a boarder from the school. Her crime was: she had taken half-a-sovereign from the purse of one of her room-mates.
Look out, there's old Day!" and leaving Chinky standing, she ran down the corridor to her room. For a month or more, Laura fed like a honeybee on the sweets of success. And throve even to the blindest eye. What had hitherto been lacking was now hers: the admiration and applause of her circle. And never was a child so spurred and uplifted by praise as Laura.
But, by whatever name it was known, Laura's ostracism was complete. She had been sampled, tested, put on one side. And not the softest-hearted could find an excuse for her behaviour. It was but another instance of how misfortune dogs him who is down, that Chinky should choose this very moment to bring further shame upon her.
"Old Tom is full of contrivances," added Hurry, "and he set his heart on the success of his chimney, which threatened more than once to give out altogether; but perseverance will even overcome smoke; and now he has a comfortable cabin of it, though it did promise, at one time, to be a chinky sort of a flue to carry flames and fire."
"Here she comes!" said his pilot with satisfaction. "Some moon, ain't she?" "Hurry!" There was an urge in the professor's voice which fitted in but poorly with the magic of the night. The boat-man felt it and wondered. He tried a little conversation. "Know the old Doc. well?" he inquired. "Queer old duck, eh? And that Li Ho is about the most Chinky Chinaman I ever seen.
You're a darling to say you'll wear it," and putting her arm round Laura's shoulders, Chinky gave her a hearty kiss. This was more than Laura had bargained for; she freed herself, ungraciously. "Oh, don't! now mind, a red stone, and for the third finger of the left hand." "Yes. And Laura, I've thought of something to put inside. SEMPER EADEM ... do you like that, Laura?" "It'll do.
Her eyes glittered as she asked, for she foresaw a further link in her chain. "Soon, now?" Chinky nodded mysteriously. "Pretty soon. And you promise faithfully never to take it off?" "But it must be a NICE one ... with a red stone in it. And listen, Chink, no one must ever know it was you who gave it me." "All right, I swear.
After my long sojourn in Italian albergi, whose uncarpeted floors, and chinky windows and doors, are but ill fitted to resist the winds and cold of winter, I sat down in "Thomson's," furnished as it is with all the comforts of an English inn, with a feeling of home-comfort such as I have rarely experienced.
"Get Chinky the cook some wood!" yelled a man who seemed to be a sort of overseer. One or two of the cowboys got up from the ground where they had thrown themselves and brought armsful to the cook's shanty. "Here we are," called Rattlesnake Jim, as he and the boys rode into the midst of this excitement. "Hello, Nat!" called a hearty voice. "Land alive, but I'm glad to see you!"
Mazarine; but I do know that he's a different-looking man when a Chinky runs up against him than when he's choring at Tralee. A sick Chinaman told me only a week ago that Li Choo was 'once big high boss Chinaman in Pekin.... And so the mandarin advised you to fly to Orlando, did he? I wonder if it's a way they have in China." "But I wouldn't go.
