"Suppose you learn plain cooking. That's a useful accomplishment, which no woman should be without," said Mrs. March, laughing inaudibly at the recollection of Jo's dinner party, for she had met Miss Crocker and heard her account of it.
"Mother, did you go away and let everything be, just to see how we'd get on?" cried Meg, who had had suspicions all day.
"Yes, I wanted you to see how the comfort of all depends on each doing her share faithfully. While Hannah and I did your work, you got on pretty well, though I don't think you were very happy or amiable. So I thought, as a little lesson, I would show you what happens when everyone thinks only of herself. Don't you feel that it is pleasanter to help one another, to have daily duties which make leisure sweet when it comes, and to bear and forbear, that home may be comfortable and lovely to us all?"
"We do, Mother we do!" cried the girls.

正是翁同龢这句话,将慈禧太后逼到了退无可退的地步,再无转圈余地,谁能承认自己不顾江山社稷,谁能承认自己卖国。
  “胡说!他为的江山社稷,难道我倒要毁了江山社稷不成。”
  翁同龢立刻跪倒在地: “臣有罪,还请太后恕罪。”
  慈禧大发雷霆,尖利的声音在金殿内回荡:
  “就说这万寿庆典吧,知道的人说我该享享福了,
  不知道的人骂我穷奢极欲!谁个知道?我这也是
  为了江山社稷的一片苦心。
  寻常百姓家的老太太六十大寿,办得风光热闹,
  左邻右舍就会说这老太太有福气、有面子,
  这户人家在那一带就做得起人。百姓如此,国家更是如此。
  如果连我的生日都办寒碜了,不但我的面子,朝庭的面子
  也没地方搁。又怎么个体现我中国河清海晏、国泰民安?
  这样一来,不但洋人瞧不起,连百姓也瞧不起。
  洋人瞧不起你他就欺负你,百姓瞧不起你他就不服你,
  这样就会出事儿,祖宗的基业就会毁于一旦、、、

"It's so very kind of you to have asked me to take tea with you," said Miss Marple to Emma Crackenthorpe.
Miss Marple was looking particularly woolly and fluffy - a picture of a sweet old lady. She beamed as she looked round her - at Harold Crackenthorpe in his well-cut dark suit, at Alfred handing her sandwiches with a charming smile, at Cedric standing by the mantelpiece in a ragged tweed jacket scowling at the rest of his family.
"We are very pleased that you could come," said Emma politely.
Art Painting
There was no hint of scene which had taken place after lunch that day when Emma had exclaimed: "Dear me, I quite forgot. I told Miss Eyelesbarrow that she could bring her old aunt to tea today."
"Put her off," said Harold brusquely. "We've still got a lot to talk about. We don't want strangers here."
"Let her have tea in the kitchen or somewhere with the girl," said Alfred.
"Oh, no, I couldn't do that," said Emma firmly. "That would be very rude."

And,like many gamblers,a murderer often does not know when tostop.With each crime his opinion of his own abilities is strengthened.Hissense of proportion is warped.He does not say "I have been clever andlucky!"No,he says only "I have been clever!"And his opinion of hiscleverness grows and then,mes amis,the ball spins,and the run of colouris over-it drops into a new number and the croupier calls out "Rouge"." "You think that will happen in this case?" asked Megan drawing her brows together in a frown. "It must happen sooner or later!So far the luck has been with thecriminal-sooner or later it must turn and be with us.I believe that it hastruned!The clue of the stockings is the beginning.

"Realize,Hastings,that in the ordinary course of events those threeseparate dramas would never have touched each other. They would have pursued their course uninfluenced by each other.Thepermutations and combinations of life,Hastings-I never cease to befascinated by them." "This is Paddington,"was the only answer I made. It was time,I felt,that someone picked the bubble. On our arrival at Whitehaven Mansions we were told that a gentleman waswaiting to see Poirot. I expected it to be Franklin,or perhaps Japp,but to my astonishment itturned out to be none other than Donald Fraser. He seemed very embarrassed and his inarticulateness

Poirot did not press him to come to the point of his visit,but insteadsuggested sandwiches and a glass of wine. Until these made their appearance he monopolized the conversation,explaining where we had been,and speaking with kindliness and feeling ofthe invalid woman. Not until we had finished the sandwiches and sipped the wine did he givethe conversation a personal turn. "You have come from Bexhill,Mr Fraser?" "Yes." "Any success with Milly Higley?" "Milly Higley?Milly Higley?"Fraser repeated the name wonderingly."Oh,that girl!No,I haven't done anything there yet.

Art Painting Then the green man fitted spectacles for the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman and the Lion, and even on little Toto; and all were locked fast with the key.
Then the Guardian of the Gates put on his own glasses and told them he was ready to show them to the Palace. Taking a big golden key from a peg on the wall, he opened another gate, and they all followed him through the portal into the streets of the Emerald City.
Art Painting
Even with eyes protected by the green spectacles, Dorothy and her friends were at first dazzled by the brilliancy of the wonderful City. The streets were lined with beautiful houses all built of green marble and studded everywhere with sparkling emeralds. They walked over a pavement of the same green marble, and where the blocks were joined together were rows of emeralds, set closely, and glittering in the brightness of the sun. The window panes were of green glass; even the sky above the City had a green tint, and the rays of the sun were green.

on the hearth the remains of a fagot fire were smoldering; before a shrine, which was lighted by a single candle, knelt an aged man, and on an old wooden box at his side lay an open book and a human skull. The man was of large, bony frame; his hair and whiskers were very long and snowy white; he was clothed in a robe of sheepskins which reached from his neck to his heels.

"A holy hermit!" said the king to himself; "now am I indeed fortunate."
The hermit rose from his knees; the king knocked. A deep voice responded:
"Enter!-but leave sin behind, for the ground whereon thou shalt stand is holy!"
The king entered, and paused. The hermit turned a pair of gleaming, unrestful eyes upon him, and said:
"Who art thou?"
"I am the king," came the answer, with placid simplicity.

"What do you say, Miss Daisy?" said Chandler.
"Sunday would be very nice," said Daisy demurely. And then, as the young man took up his hat, and as her stepmother did not stir, Daisy ventured to go out into the hall with him for a minute.
Chandler shut the door behind them, and so was spared the hearing of Mrs. Bunting's whispered remark: "When I was a young woman folk didn't gallivant about on Sunday; those who was courting used to go to church together, decent-like -

aisy's eighteenth birthday dawned uneventfully. Her father gave her what he had always promised she should have on her eighteenth birthday - a watch. It was a pretty little silver watch, which Bunting had bought secondhand on the last day he had been happy - it seemed a long, long time ago now.

Nearer and nearer came the thudding sounds, treading heavily on the kitchen stairs, and Mrs. Bunting's heart began to beat as if in response. She put out the flame of the gas-ring, unheedful of the fact that the cheese would stiffen and spoil in the cold air.
Then she turned and faced the door.
Art Painting
There came a fumbling at the handle, and a moment later the door opened, and revealed, as she had at once known and feared it would do, the lodger.
Mr. Sleuth looked even odder than usual. He was clad in a plaid dressing-gown, which she had never seen him wear before, though she knew that he had purchased it not long after his arrival. In his hand was a lighted candle.

But appearances were not only deceitful, they were more than usually deceitful with regard to these un-fortunate people. In spite of their good furniture - that substantial outward sign of respectability which is the last thing which wise folk who fall into trouble try to dispose of - they were almost at the end of their tether. Already they had learnt to go hungry, and they were beginning to learn to go cold.
Art Painting
Tobacco, the last thing the sober man foregoes among his comforts, had been given up some time ago by Bunting. And even Mrs. Bunting - prim, prudent, careful woman as she was in her way - had realised what this must mean to him. So well, indeed, had she understood that some days back she had crept out and bought him a packet of Virginia.

Not an hour passes without bringing some new evidence against him. The examining magistrate is overwhelmed by it - and blind."
"Frederic Larsan, however, is not a novice," I said.
"I thought so," said Rouletabile, with a slightly contemptuous turn of his lips, "I fancied he was a much abler man. I had, indeed, a great admiration for him, before I got to know his method of working. It's deplorable
Art Painting
He owes his reputation solely to his ability; but he lacks reasoning power, - the mathematics of his ideas are very poor."
I looked closely at Rouletabille and could not help smiling, on hearing this boy of eighteeen talking of a man who had proved to the world that he was the finest police sleuth in Europe.

I should say so," said one of the Carabineers, bending to look at Eugene. "This boy has been wounded on the temple. Who has hurt him?"
"Not I," stammered the Marionette, who had hardly a breath left in his whole body.
"If it wasn't you, who was it, then?"
"Not I," repeated Pinocchio.
"And with what was he wounded?"
"With this book," and the Marionette picked up the arithmetic text to show it to the officer.
"And whose book is this?"

"Mine."
"Enough."
"Not another word! Get up as quickly as you can and come along with us."
"But I--"
"Come with us!"
"But I am innocent."
"Come with us!"
Before starting out, the officers called out to several fishermen passing by in a boat and said to them:
"Take care of this little fellow who has been hurt. Take him home and bind his wounds. Tomorrow we'll come after him." Art Painting

The concierges will be able to inform us no doubt?" said Rouletabille, pointing to the lodge the door and windows of which were close shut.
"The concierges will not be able to give you any information, Monsieur Rouletabille."
"Why not?"
"Because they were arrested half an hour ago."

"Arrested!" cried Rouletabille; "then they are the murderers!"
Frederic Larsan shrugged his shoulders.
"When you can't arrest the real murderer," he said with an air of supreme irony, "you can always indulge in the luxury of discovering accomplices."
"Did you have them arrested, Monsieur Fred?"
"Not I! - I haven't had them arrested. In the first place, I am pretty sure that they have not had anything to do with the affair, and then because -"

“是,是,我是想给年轻人一个机会”吃了闷亏得徐教授不大乐意的指着我

胤褆背着身,手指不断敲打着桌面,良久方道:“你舅母的确不是暴毙的。”
虽然早就猜到了真相,尘芳仍然身形一颤,紧紧握住一旁小敏的手。
“自坊间流传出徐乾学与你舅母的事后,你舅母应不勘蒙辱,便在当晚吞金自尽了。”胤褆道。
“为何会有如此传闻?”尘芳不解。

“徐乾学经常出入纳兰家,又加之对你舅母的才华赞赏有嘉。有心人添油加醋了一番,自然水到渠成。”胤褆略一顿,又道:“今年正月,皇上巡幸五台山。命我和大学士伊桑阿祭金太祖、世宗陵,上月,我又晋封为直郡王。有些人便急不可待地想打击我,要斩我的左膀右臂,自然要从纳兰家下手。徐乾学近日刚修编完了《通志堂经解》,圣宠正浓。小小的一件风流韵事却逼得他辞官退隐,纳兰家面上无光,可说是一石两鸟之计,果然是高明。”
尘芳听明白了,心中似被剜了刀,痛得彻骨。原来舅母便是这样,成为了一场男人们争权夺势的阴谋下的牺牲品。

她也知道掌门师兄是为她好,担心她将来没有依靠。可若要她凑合着,那还不如找回龙飞玉。经过这些人和事,她也明了当年对龙飞玉恐怕也不是一点感觉也没有,否则她为何不能像美人师父的另一位追求者雪山妖姬那样,看见美男子都能情动兼行动。
说到将来的依靠,金多多自有想法。看多了美人师父身边空付芳心的各路侠女,还有皇帝徒儿身边表面风光的众多妃嫔,即使是没有妾室相争的大长公主,又有谁真觉得自己有了依靠?

她是不记得四岁那年找了一个“好夫君”,但她却记得那年她许愿要盖一个像醉花楼一样的大酒楼。所以当她重遇艳红,并知道艳红的夫君竟是昔日瑞国第一御厨的后人时,便逼着当时还是太子的东方思棋帮她开了无双楼,又逼着东方思棋的老爹题了“天下无双”四个字,还骗来了商家老狐狸的孙子商融给她做掌柜。
就凭着这座酒楼的生意和这些年置下的田宅,即使没有哥哥、师门的扶持,金多多相信自己和阿璧都不会无依无靠。

“是啊。”张总管有些委屈地看着世子,世子看起来也很惊讶。
可昨晚真的是世子爷自己说的要去元宝阁就寝,当时他也吓了一跳。因为都知道现在府里最受宠的是新来的雪琴姑娘,至于那个元宝姑娘,已经被世子冷落了近两个月了,就连他这个总管都懒得去搭理。这可怪不得他,毕竟这做人奴仆的,趋炎附势是第一条规矩。

这元宝姑娘姓金,本名当然不叫元宝,只是她从不掩饰对金银财宝的喜爱,那种贪婪的面孔连他这个见多识广的大总管都叹为观止。世子爷笑她说:“你还不如改名叫元宝。”这本是个暗讽,她却如获至宝,甚至把自己的居所改名为元宝阁,这府里的人也就称她元宝姑娘。

王贵胄、六部尚书、五军都督等,王侯将相济济一堂。皇帝高高在上,王爷们坐在第一阶的位置,重臣们坐第二阶。第三阶已是大堂,则是受宠的三四品文武大员的位置了。看来不是每个人的女眷都有这荣幸来这大宴会场的。

我挥了挥手,示意她住口:“那个桂香呢?在哪里?”
好半晌,才见一个丫鬟畏缩着从角落里走了出来,跪下道:“回王妃千岁,奴婢在这儿。”
我也不啰唆,正襟危坐问道:“刚刚王妈说的那些个话,都是实话吗?”
她一惊,磕了个头:“回王妃千岁,是。”
我霍地一下站了起来,走到跟前厉声道:“当时本王妃也在那儿呢,你也有没有编排王妃我的不是?”
她吓得趴在地上:“奴婢不敢。”

好像听王氏说是我院里的大丫鬟,怎么面生呢?我冷笑:“抬起头来。”
她听话地抬起头,一脸的受惊。原来是以前王爷说让安排在我院子里的,我看我已有绯红、绿萼、雅琴、雅棋四个大丫鬟了,就让她列入二等丫鬟里了,估计是不服气,给我下绊子。
我了然。离座来到厅中间,厅里满满地站了二三十人,均大气不出的。围着她转了一圈,我突地一下俯到她跟前,用大家都听到的声调:“好你个狗奴才,本是我院子里的人,来侧妃的院子里嚼舌根、搬弄是非,如此不忠不孝、不仁不义之人,待会儿再收拾你。”

一飞问式云下一步的打算,式云说没什么打算,一飞建议去一趟敦煌,式云表示同意。一飞随后又说他还打算在兰州留几天,这个西部城市对他很有吸引。
盘桓了几天,一飞逐渐满足了自己的好奇心,他越来越觉得有必要有一辆车。在青岛的朋友有一辆三菱越野,他们无聊时就跳上它去郊外兜风,那感觉比坐他爸的奔驰要好得多,他们把越野当坦克开。
一飞问老哥对这座城市是否熟悉。老哥的保证让他欣喜不已,一飞说出他的想法,去租一辆越野,看周围或整个兰州有没有一家好的汽车租赁公司。一飞保证钱没问题,只要租赁公司可靠。
之后老哥带他们去了几家汽车俱乐部,最后又在网吧里查了半天,终于找到一家感觉可靠的租赁公司。这家公司要价颇高,让一飞怎么都不能痛快的接受,最终一飞突然决定要有自己的一辆车!
随后一飞有央求老哥找到了此地的一个朋友,很巧合的联系上一个急于出手二手越野的车主。当天他们就看过车,一飞当即拍板,买下!
中午一飞给他老爸打了个电话,包括车金还有路上的花费都一并给他打到银行卡里了,下午他们就办妥了所有手续,得到了这部赛弗越野。
一飞在检查并启动了一次发动机,确定各方面都没问题,到几近黄昏的时候,他们就都坐在车上顺着外环路奔驰了,直到式云直喊肚子空空荡荡装满了西部的晚风,一飞才暂时压制自己的兴奋把车往回开。
第二天,一飞一早就把车发动起来,嚷着要去郊外。式云当然乐得其所,但他还是有一点忧虑,担心老哥身体受不住颠簸。他忍不住看了一眼一旁整理桌子的老哥。
