And I wanted to study the characters of my two nieces. Now you know you can't judge much of girls, unless you see them with their comrades, their chums; or at least with other girls of their own age. So I asked you each to bring a girl friend with you. As it happened, Bernie brought two, and Alicia none, but that didn't matter. And I'm exceedingly glad to have met and known the two D's."
When she was in Paris it was the Catholics as wanted money nuns, sisters of the poor, priests as 'ad been turned out by the Government, and what not, and out in America it was the Christian Scientists all the time with such a lot of tickets for lectures and fal-lals as you never saw, then came the Spiritooalists with their seeances; and altogether the Vancourt family got to look on all sorts of religions merely as so many kinds of beggin' boxes which if you dropped money into, you went straight to the Holy-holies, and if you didn't you dropped down into the great big D's.
D's; Friday at Lord E's; and Saturday at Mr. F.'s. We might as well have staid at home; not a Phoebus had they, or anything like one. We then visited the nurseries, from Brown's, at Slough, a princely establishment, worthy of its regal neighbourhood, to the pretty rural gardens at South Warnborough, not forgetting our own most intelligent and obliging nurseryman, Mr.
If we had only been at Gaysbury, where there are the A's, the B's, the C's, and Lord D's place, as you know, quite close, I should not then have felt that we were living in such a desert; but I suppose it is for the best," she added more cheerfully; "and then of course the Bishop will come to us whenever he is in the neighbourhood, and if we were at Gaysbury he might have gone to Lord D's."
And the word would be l-o-v-e, without any D's. Now you have got the straight of it, my dear. I love you love you love you, from the crown of that curly hear to the soles of your little feet. What's more, you have got to love me, too, since I am, "Your future husband, "P. S. And now, Curly, you know my first-rate reasons for not meaning to get shot up by any of these Mexican fellows."
It is regrettable that Quiroga's picturesque butchery of Spanish and Tagalog the dialect of the Manila Chinese cannot be reproduced here. Only the thought can be given. There is the same difficulty with r's, d's, and l's that the Chinese show in English. Tr.
Excuse me if I have devoted a few pages to a subject which with you is obsolete. I am indignant at the perusal of such falsehoods; and though I feel for the humiliation of great talents, I feel still more for the disgrace such an abuse of them brings on our country. It is not inapposite to mention a circumstance which happened to a friend of Mr. D's, some little time since, at Paris.
The table showed two great floral D's, one at either end. Dotty's was made of red roses, and Dolly's of pink roses. Every guest had as a souvenir, some pretty and valuable little trinket, and at every place was a small D made of flowers.
Forbes walked up and down the room as he often did, and then paused in front of the group of girls who were standing by the piano. "Sit down, girlies," he said; "Alicia and Bernice, sit on that sofa, please, you two D's on that one." Uncle Jeff was smiling, but still, there seemed to be an undercurrent of seriousness in his tone, that implied a special talk.
"Hear this, Belle," I said, laughing, as my wife took the rocking chair on the other side of me; "fancy any collection of women being obliged to steer clear of the three D's!" "You should ask Mary about her studies," was the severe reply. "We were much pleased with your letters."
