Why if she's likewise really burying flowers," he afterwards went on to smilingly reflect, "this can aptly be termed: 'Tung Shih tries to imitate a frown. But not only is what she does not original, but it is despicable to boot. You needn't," he meant to shout out to the girl, at the conclusion of this train of thought, "try and copy Miss Lin's example."
She was communing with her own thoughts. But unawares perceiving Hsi Jen wave her hand and call her by name, she had to walk up to her. "Our watering-pot is spoilt," Hsi Jen smiled and said, "so go to Miss Lin's over there and find one for us to use." Hsiao Hung hastened on her way towards the Hsiao Hsiang Kuan.
Addressing at the same time the matrons, she went on to ask, "Have Miss Lin's luggage and effects been brought in? How many servants has she brought along with her? Go, as soon as you can, and sweep two lower rooms and ask them to go and rest." As she spake, tea and refreshments had already been served, and Hsi-feng herself handed round the cups and offered the fruits.
The fleet gave ample occupation to the Chinese, and drew off their attention from the operations of the troops. These now landed, and, while the fleet continued their slow and steady bombardment, marched to the capture of Lin's Fort, a powerful battery on a hill to the east of the town.
As we returned to the gate, my wife and U went into the gate-house to see an old chimney-piece, and other antiquities, and J and I proceeded a little way round the outer wall, and saw the remains of the moat, and Lin's Tower, a real and shattered fabric of John of Gaunt.
"There's large thirsts on Bear Creek. Lin McLean will pass on ducks." "Lin's not thirsty this month." "Signed for one month, has he?" "Signed! He's spooning our schoolmarm!" "They claim she's a right sweet-faced girl." "Yes; yes; awful agreeable. And next thing you're fooled clean through." "Yu' don't say!"
"I never thought," said Lin the boisterous. "I wouldn't have." "Come sit here, Billy," said Jessamine. "Whenever he teases, you tell me, and we'll make him behave." "Honest?" persisted Billy. "Shake hands on it," said Jessamine. "Cause I'll go to school. But I won't go back to Laramie for no one. And you're a-going to be Lin's wife, honest?" "Honest! Honest!"
The destruction of Lin's fort by the accidental explosion of the magazine somewhat neutralized the advantage of its capture. On the following day the order was given to assault the city by escalade, and three separate parties advanced on the eastern wall.
Come to think," he mused, as twilight deepened around our clanking stage, and small Billy slept sound between us, "there's scarcely a thing in life you get a laugh out of that don't make soberness for somebody." Soberness had now visited the pair behind us; even Lin's lively talk had quieted, and his tones were low and few.
She had made friends with him, and he was now smoothed down and deeply absorbed, being led by her to tell her about himself. But on Lin's approach his face clouded, and he made off for the corrals, displaying a sullen back, while I was presenting Mr. McLean to the lady.
