乎与此同时，慈禧太后通宵未眠，正在于李莲英商量朝鲜的事情。
　　“小李子，朝鲜的事情，你看怎么办好？”
　　“老佛爷，朝鲜是咱们的藩属之国，理当出兵。”
　　“话是这么说，可是再过几个月，就是哀家六十大寿，不知道到时候能不能打完。”
　　“老佛爷，打仗的事情奴才不懂，但上次朝鲜闹那么大动静，也不过月余就平息了。这次多派些人过去，两个月内也足够了，到时候，正好是老佛爷六十大寿，也给老佛爷添添喜气不是。”
　　“你这狗奴才到是会说，上次那个送信的后生也是你一力保举，怎么我听说好像搞了很多花样，还提了反词。”
　　“老佛爷饶命，奴才一是不查，被赵刚蒙蔽过关。赵刚里通外国，私自封爵，擅自练兵，实属罪大恶极，恳请老佛爷将他重重惩治。”
　　“起来吧小李子，这事交给你去办”
　　“扎，老佛爷英明，奴才以为赵刚封官不过四个月，如果这时处置他恐怕让人看了笑话，以为老佛爷识人不明……。”
　　“嗯，那你以为呢？”

XXX的，德国人上任以来，可没少祸害咱平寇军的人。以前咱们都是打了就跑，绝对不吃亏。现在可好，阵地战，每天练得像个泥猴似的，到时候打起来最多也就是个两败俱伤。前一段演习，洋鬼子表现不好，结果板子竟然落在自己老兄弟屁股上。这样赏罚不公，兄弟们都不想干了，老吴是个大老粗，干不了这个精细活，也准备不干了。”
　　唐绍仪心里不愿搞这些离间之事，但是为报袁世凯的恩德，只好勉力一试，上前一步道：
　　‘吴巡检，这德国人现在势头可猛，一来就当了营长，听说这两天又要当团长，这官越当越大，往后可真没有咱们老弟兄的位置啦！‘
　　吴俊升被他一激，气得有些口不择言了：‘告赵刚……不是，到赵刚那儿去告德国人，他赵刚要不把德国人给撤喽，妈拉巴子我就不伺候他啦！老子拉杆子去别的地方，不行就上山！‘
　　唐绍仪看了他一眼，心中一动，看看还差点火候，就扔还给他一句：‘我听赵刚对德国人说，你给德国人牵马扶镫都不配。‘

"I'd like you to have a look, yes, Doctor. We want to get her identified. I suppose it's impossible for old Mr. Crackenthorpe? Too much of a strain?"
"Strain? Fiddlesticks. He’d never forgive you or me if you didn't let him have a peep. He's all agog. Most exciting thing that's happened to him for fifteen years or so - and it won't cost him anything!"
"There's nothing really much wrong with him then?"

"He's seventy-two," said the doctor. "That's all, really, that's the matter with him. He has odd rheumatic twinges - who doesn't? So he calls it arthritis. He has palpitations after meals - as well he may - he puts them down to ‘heart.' But he can always do anything he wants to do! I've plenty of patients like that. The ones who are really ill usually insist desperately that they're perfectly well. Come on, let's go and see this body of yours. Unpleasant, I suppose?"

Miss Marple was occupying the back sitting-room which looked out on to a small tidy square of garden. It was aggressively clean with a lot of mats and doilies, a great many china ornaments, a rather big Jacobean suite and two ferns in pots. Miss Marple was sitting in a big chair by the fire busily engaged in crocheting.
Lucy came in and shut the door. She sat down in the chair facing Miss Marple.
"Well!" she said. "It looks as though you were right."
She produced her finds and gave details of their finding.
A faint flush of achievement came into Miss Marple's cheeks

"Tell me，mon ami，"he said."What do you make of this?" I took it from him with some interest. It was written on thickish white notepaper in printed characters: Mr.Hercule Poirot，-You fancy yourself，don't you，at solving mysteriesthat are too difficult for our poor thickheaded British police?Let us see，Mr.Clever Poirot，just how clever you can be.Perhaps you'll find this nuttoo hard to crack.Look out for Andover，on the 21st of the month.

resolved to wait calmly and see what the future would bring. At last she crawled over the swaying floor to her bed, and lay down upon it; and Toto followed and lay down beside her.
In spite of the swaying of the house and the wailing of the wind, Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.
Gustav Klimt Painting
She was awakened by a shock, so sudden and severe that if Dorothy had not been lying on the soft bed she might have been hurt. As it was, the jar made her catch her breath and wonder what had happened; and Toto put his cold little nose into her face and whined dismally. Dorothy sat up and noticed that the house was not moving; nor was it dark, for the bright sunshine came in at the window, flooding the little room. She sprang from her bed and with Toto at her heels ran and opened the door.

between them, striking Hendon on the elbow and then bounding off among the hurrying confusion of feet. So evanescent and unstable are men's works in this world!-the late good king is but three weeks dead and three days in his grave, and already the adornments which he took such pains to select from prominent people for his noble bridge are falling. A citizen stumbled over that head, and drove his own head into the back of somebody in front of him, who turned and knocked down the first person that came handy, and was promptly laid out himself by that person's friend.

It was the right ripe time for a free fight, for the festivities of the morrow-Coronation Day-were already beginning; everybody was full of strong drink and patriotism; within five minutes the free fight was occupying a good deal of ground; within ten or twelve it covered an acre or so, and was become a riot. By this time Hendon and the king were hopelessly separated from each other and lost in the rush and turmoil of the roaring masses of humanity. And so we leave them.

"'Course I will," he said eagerly. "You just come in and sit down, my dear. Don't trouble to take your things off now - wait till you've had tea."
And she obeyed him. "Where's Daisy?" she asked suddenly. "I thought the girl would be back by the time I got home."
"She ain't coming home to-day" - there was an odd, sly, smiling look on Bunting's face.

"Did she send a telegram?" asked Mrs. Bunting.
"No. Young Chandler's just come in and told me. He's been over there and, - would you believe it, Ellen? - he's managed to make friends with Margaret. Wonderful what love will do, ain't it? He went over there just to help Daisy carry her bag back, you know, and then Margaret told him that her lady had sent her some money to go to the play, and she actually asked Joe to go with them this evening - she and Daisy - to the pantomime. Did you ever hear o' such a thing?"

"I am glad to say that we hope to obtain such evidence to-day as will in time lead to the apprehension of the miscreant who has committed, and is still committing, these terrible crimes."
Mrs. Bunting stared uneasily up into the coroner's firm, determined-looking face. What did he mean by that? Was there any new evidence - evidence of which Joe Chandler, for instance, was ignorant? And, as if in answer to the unspoken question, her heart gave a sudden leap

for a big, burly man had taken his place in the witness-box - a policeman who had not been sitting with the other witnesses.
But soon her uneasy terror became stilled. This witness was simply the constable who had found the first body. In quick, business-like tones he described exactly what had happened to him on that cold, foggy morning ten days ago. He was shown a plan, and he marked it slowly, carefully

Gustav Klimt Painting I kept silence for awhile, then, anxious to know his thoughts, I asked him point blank:
"Why not tell Arthur Rance? - He may be of great assistance to us?"
"Oh!" said Rouletabille crossly, "then you want to let everybody into Mademoiselle Stangerson's secrets? - Come, let us go to dinner; it is time. This evening we dine in Frederic Larsan's room, - at least, if he is not on the heels of Darzac. He sticks to him like a leech. But, anyhow, if he is not there now, I am quite sure he will be, to-night! He's the one I am going to knock over!"
Gustav Klimt Painting
At this moment we heard a noise in the room near us.
"It must be he," said Rouletabille.
"I forgot to ask you," I said, "if we are to make any allusion to to-night's business when we are with this policeman. I take it we are not. Is that so?"
"Evidently. We are going to operate alone, on our own personal account."
"So that all the glory will be ours?" Gustav Klimt Painting

The landlady re-appeared at that moment, bringing in the traditional bacon omelette. Rouletabille chaffed her a little, and she took the chaff with the most charming good humour.
"She is much jollier when Daddy Mathieu is in bed with his rheumatism," Rouletabille said to me.
Gustav Klimt Painting
But I had eyes neither for Rouletabille nor for the landlady's smiles. I was entirely absorbed over the last words of my young friend and in thinking over Monsieur Robert Darzac's strange behaviour.
When he had finished his omelette and we were again alone, Rouletabille continued the tale of his confidences.

"Good morning, Pinocchio," said the Fox, greeting him courteously.

"I know your father well."
"Where have you seen him?"
"I saw him yesterday standing at the door of his house."

"Poor Father! But, after today, God willing, he will suffer no longer."
We have hundreds more books for your enjoyment. Read them all!
"Why?"
"Because I have become a rich man."
"You, a rich man?" said the Fox, and he began to laugh out loud. The Cat was laughing also, but tried to hide it by stroking his long whiskers.
"There is nothing to laugh at," cried Pinocchio angrily. "I am very sorry to make your mouth water, but these, as you know, are five new gold pieces."

See Pinocchio hurrying off to school with his new A-B-C book under his arm! As he walked along, his brain was busy planning hundreds of wonderful things, building hundreds of castles in the air. Talking to himself, he said:

With the very first pennies I make, I'll buy Father a new cloth coat. Cloth, did I say? No, it shall be of gold and silver with diamond buttons. That poor man certainly deserves it; for, after all, isn't he in his shirt sleeves because he was good enough to buy a book for me? On this cold day, too! Fathers are indeed good to their children!"

今天就是七月七，牛郎织女会七夕。
刚刚用过晚膳，淑玲就来找我了。
“颖儿，我跟娘娘告过假了，今儿这乞巧，咱俩一块过。”
“好，可是我也不知道这节应该怎么样过耶？”
“一切有我呢。你就等着吧。“
夜幕降临了，这是一个有星无月的晚上。就在绛雪轩的藤萝架下，摆上了时令瓜果，各式各样的针线锦缎。

就着微微星光，我和淑玲比赛穿针。输了一次就再来一次。一个晚上，我们穿了无数次针，仗着当年做十字绣的功底和练暗器的眼力，倒还是我赢的多。
就着小点心，喝着淑玲弄来的玉壶春，心情好像回到了当年泡吧时。
凉风习习，淑玲微醺的脸上有着说不出的欢喜。
“颖儿，告诉你一个秘密。我喜欢上了一个人。”
“是谁是谁。”我倒是很好奇。好姐妹有爱人我要帮她哦。
“告诉你你可不要笑我，我知道我是着了魔了，可是不行，我就是很喜欢很喜欢他。”

待夜筵快结束时，尘芳见珠木花远远向自己招手，便乘胤禟和胤祯在拼酒，悄悄走了过去。剑柔和绵凝自然不敢怠慢，也跟了上去。珠木花不多话，领着三人走了一段路，来到个蒙古包前，对剑柔和绵凝道：“你们俩在外守着，我有要事和你们主子商量。”
两人本不愿意，但见尘芳点头同意，只得站在外面，却暗自留心里面的动静，恐有不测。

苏雪琴起身穿过桃花林，来到粼光池旁，这名还是她取的呢。只见元宝姑娘正站在池边，一个小丫环正拉着她的袖子想让她离开，而另一个小丫环蹲在水边，正拿着个簸箕捞池子里的鱼。
“你们在干什么？”苏雪琴有些愤怒，但还是维持住了冷冷的神情。
池边的三个人一起回头，神色各异。元宝姑娘一脸不以为然，旁边的小丫环则低下了头，仿佛做错事的人是她，正在捞鱼的那位则尴尬地扬了扬手中的簸箕，“我、我在洗簸箕。”
一条锦鲤正在簸箕里扑腾着。

“多多妹子，你怎么在这儿？世子爷不是让你禁足一个月吗？”玲珑也来到了池边。
“玲珑姐姐，不就还差十天嘛，我在元宝阁里都快闷死了。现在也就是在院子里走一走，连这西跨院都没出去呢。”金多多走到玲珑身边，亲热地挽着她的手，然后给了苏雪琴一个示威的眼神。
“你再觉得闷，也不能来捞这池子里的鱼啊，这可是世子专门为雪琴妹妹买回来的。你要是也喜欢，就跟姐姐说一声，也让人给你买几条，送到你元宝阁，你想怎么玩就怎么玩。”她这也算是劝阻了吧。

“原来皇上是想给子云一个优差，给个名目让我游山玩水。那子云先接旨谢恩了。”
“朕都没说让你去干吗，你就谢恩了。就不怕朕害了你？”
“呵呵，皇上就是要子云上刀山下火海，子云也不敢推辞。何况皇上圣明，断不会让子云做那出力不讨好的事。”
“你能明白朕的苦心就好。”皇上若有所思地看了龙飞玉一眼，看得他心里发毛。

作为皇上的亲近之人，龙飞玉知道皇上与揽月山庄的少庄主君子悦是师兄弟，都出身武林第一门派——玄天宗，玉面神医清辉子便是他们的师祖。至于他们的师父，据说竟是一个妙龄少女。
龙飞玉觉得皇上不可能拜一个少女为师，但他并非武林中人，也就对此不感兴趣，虽然玄天宗的现任掌门就是他的亲娘舅。何况这还是皇上的秘密，世人都不知他与玄天宗的关系。所以，师弟的父亲五十大寿，也只能派亲信上门送礼。

我不解地问：“为什么？”
