No Canton youth who aims at the first social order thinks of setting himself to make money; to enter the service of the government is his object, and to achieve this he studies literature. There is practically no barrier in China to becoming a "literate," and the classification means all that the word "gentleman" can in Europe.
"In that ladies' wear department, there are three men for every woman, and the men are all drifting from counter to counter over in the direction of our escalators." Coccozello swore again, feelingly. "Literate, you know your stuff!" he said. "That fuss in China is just a feint; this is where they're really going to hit. What do you think it is?
An Episcopal clergyman in the same parish with Allston wrote that he held fortnightly services among the negroes on ten plantations, and enlisted some of the literate slaves as lay readers. His restriction of these to the text of the prayer book, however, seems to have shorn them of power.
The man in the screen consulted his watch. "Probably inside of an hour. We've had to do some re-shuffling; you know how these things are handled. And if you'll pardon me, Literate; just what are you doing at Pelton's? I understood that you were principal of Mineola High School." "That's a good question." Prestonby hastily assessed the circumstances and their implications.
Cardon made a stabbing gesture with the stiletto, which he still held. "Maybe you don't really know how hot this thing's gotten. What we had to cut out of Mongery's report, this morning " "Oh, I've been keeping in touch," Lancedale understated gently. "Well then. If anything happened to Pelton, there wouldn't be a Literate left alive in this city twelve hours later.
A girl's face, over a Literate Third Class smock, appeared in the screen; a lovely golden voice chimed at him: "Mineola High School; good morning, sir." "Good morning. Frank Cardon here. Let me talk, at once, to your principal, Literate First Class Prestonby." Ralph Prestonby cleared his throat, slipped a master disk into the recording machine beside his desk, and pressed the start button.
Furthermore, a new crew of Literates, with their novices, guards, et cetera, is being sent at once to your store. Obviously, neither the Fraternities, nor Pelton's, nor the public, would be benefitted by returning Literate Bayne or any of his crew; he has been given another assignment." "Thank you. And when can we expect this new crew of Literates?" Prestonby asked.
Even at the Manhattan headquarters, which he visited immediately after his talk with Prestonby, the news had already gotten out. The atmosphere of optimistic triumph which had undoubtedly followed Mongery's telecast and his report on the Trotter Poll, had evaporated. The Literate clerical help was gathered in a tight knot, obviously a little worried, and just as obviously enjoying the reaction.
"We've got to keep the Illiterates down; how are we ever going to do that if we go making Literates out of them? But you two thought you were being smart " "Shut up and sit down, you old jackass!" one of Joyner's people shouted at him. "Shut up, yourself, Ginter," a hatchet-faced woman Literate from the Finance Section squawked.
"And Cardon's gone completely cloak-and-dagger-happy," she continued. "He's talking about plots against my father's life, and against me, and " "A lot of things are going on under cloaks, around here," he told her. "And under Literate smocks, and under other kinds of costume. And a lot of daggers are out, too. You didn't know Frank Cardon was a Literate, did you?" Her eyes widened.
