But Lo's a good teacher, 'n' I'm tryin', I'm tryin' hard." "It's not slow, Sir, seein' father hedn't 'dvantages, like me. He was a" She stopped, lowering her voice, a hot flush of shame on her face. "I know." "Ben't that 'n 'xcuse, master, seein' I knowed noght at the beginnin'? Thenk o' that, master. I'm tryin' to be a different man. Fur Lo. I am tryin'." Holmes did not notice him.
I noticed that as they came over the hill." "Yes," answered Shorty, after a glance, "and they're holdin' 'em up very stiff an' straight. That gives mo an idee. Lo's go over there an' take a look at 'em." Shorty had sniffed at a trick that he had more than once played in getting the forbidden beverage past the lynx-eyed sentry.
"They're not here." "Then look on the closet shelf." "Here they are. Mercy, aren't they beauties! butterflies embroidered on them!" Betty drew one on over her hand and admired it. "That's Lo's taste," Polly said. "She gave them to me for Christmas. There, I think that's everything." She surveyed her neatly packed bag. "I do hope my dress won't be wrinkled."
Have a care, have a care, or one of these days, Monsieur, when you leave her alone, you'll find them together!" "Be silent!" "With pleasure," she returned. "Only when it happens don't say that you were not warned. You think that she does not hear from him " "How can she hear?" The words were wrung from him. Madame St. Lo's contempt passed all limits. "How can she!" she retorted.
And Ird hated Lo because he was of no account by reason of the iron sword of Lo. One night Ird stole down to the hut of Lo, carrying his sharp axe, and he went very softly, but Lo's dog, Warner, heard him coming, and he growled softly by his master's door. When Ird came to the hut he heard Lo talking gently to his sword. And Lo was saying, "Lie still, Death.
Lo's woman, who twitted him mercilessly on his Norman patois, and poured the vials of her scorn on him a dozen times a day. In all, with La Tribe and the Carlats, Madame St. Lo's servants, and the Countess's following, they numbered not far short of two score; and when they halted at noon, and under the shadow of some leafy tree, ate their mid-day meal, or drowsed to the tinkle of Madame St.
Many Huns in Liu Ts'ung's dominion found Shih Lo's method of rule more to their taste than living in a state ruled by officials, and they went over to Shih Lo and joined him in breaking entirely with Liu Ts'ung. There was a further motive for this: in states founded by nomads, with a federation of tribes as their basis, the personal qualities of the ruler played an important part.
During this period not a few Huns went over to the small realm of the Toba; other Hun tribes withdrew entirely from the political scene and lived with their herds as nomad tribes in Shansi and in the Ordos region. The general insecurity undermined the strength of Shih Lo's empire. He transferred the capital to the city of Yeh, in northern Honan, where the rulers of the Wei dynasty had reigned.
Lo's gibes, which should have fallen as cold water alike on his hopes and his passion, had but fed the desire to know the best. For all that, he might not have spoken now, if he had not caught her look of affright; strange as it sounds, that look, which of all things should have silenced him and warned him that the time was not yet, stung him out of patience.
But, ill content with his own conduct, on fire when he thought of his betrothed, he was in no temper to bear hardship cheerfully or long; and gradually there rose before his mind the picture of Madame St. Lo's smiling face, and the fair hair which curled low on the white of her neck. He would, and he would not. Death that had stalked so near him preached its solemn sermon.
