Oh, Bee, you have been more cruel than you know! Good-by! Good-by!" And she turned and flung herself out of the room. "Claudia, dear Claudia, oh, forgive me! I did not mean to wound you; if I spoke harshly it was because I felt for both! Claudia, come back, love!" cried Bee, hurrying after her; but Claudia was gone. Bee would have followed her; but little Lu's voice was heard in plaintive notes.
"'Well, exclaimed the woman, 'I will leave this dagger here; do as you will; I have done for you what I could, and she turned to depart, unmindful, apparently, of Lal Lu's tremulous 'And I am grateful to you.
Sue cried, clapping her hands. "Isn't he!" agreed Aunt Lu. And then she gave a sudden cry. "Oh dear!" she gasped. "Oh dear! It's gone! I've lost it!" "What?" asked Bunny. "My ring! My beautiful diamond ring is lost!" And Aunt Lu's cheeks turned pale. Aunt Lu hurried over to the kitchen table, at which she had been helping Mrs. Brown make the lobster salad.
In the first book of the series, named "Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue," I told you the story of the little boy and girl, and what fun they had getting up a Punch and Judy show, and finding Aunt Lu's diamond ring in the queerest way.
"But you must take time," she returned, catching hold of him and throwing it over his shoulders; "men have to obey their wives once in awhile; Lu's not drowning; don't you believe it; and she may as well get a wetting as you."
"It it's that," and Bunny pointed to the shining ring. Aunt Lu's eyes sparkled, almost as brightly as the glittering stone in the ring, and her cheeks became red. "I know what it is it's a diamond!" exclaimed Sue. "Isn't it, Aunt Lu?" "Yes, dear." "Did you find it?" asked Bunny. "Or did you dig it out of a gold mine?" "Diamonds don't come from gold mines; they make 'em out of glass!" said Sue.
As the affianced bride of Prince Chun had drowned herself in a well during the Boxer troubles, the Empress Dowager engaged him to the daughter of the lady who had been Jung Lu's first concubine, but who, as his consort was dead, was raised to the position of wife. "This Lady Jung," says Mrs.
Lü came as usual, and as she was more intelligent than the average Chinese woman, she not only obtained a good deal of knowledge concerning salvation in Christ Jesus, but learned to read quite a little and enjoyed it with all her heart. Something happened at that time which made a great impression on her mind. Early one morning a dreadful quarrel broke out in Mr. Lü's house.
Lü's own lips the full story of God's dealings with her. She met us with a radiant face, and began immediately to tell how it was the Lord Himself who had constrained her to yield. No other power or person could have done so. The story must be told in her own words. "After you had left me," she said, "I was still restless and could find no peace.
She sought salvation most earnestly, and her former indifference gave place to an intense longing after God. When once she had started out, there was no turning back, and nothing was allowed to hinder her in the race. She seemed to have imbibed something of Mrs. Lü's earnestness, and was altogether changed under the new influence that had come into her life.
