The Adventures of Dick Ngan

Part IV.

Summer afternoong in Hong Kong are more ofter

than not intolerably hot, spreading restlessness all around. Unlegg one has work to occupy one's mind,, one is likely to become absessed by the unhappy monotony of illessness. Dick had long grown

accustomed to the summer heat. The ceiling fan,

though at times was rather noisy, brought a cooling relief to Dick as he sat on the confortable sofa,“

reading "The Seven Pillars of kisdon". For the past two hours or so, he had been so absorbed with the book version of "Lawrence of Arabia", a film which he had heard so much about, but which he had not Heen, that he did not realize the passage of time until the continuous peeling of the door-bell brought him back from the burning gends of the Arabian desert to the consciousness of his own sitting room.

Opening the door he was greeted by the smiling Face of Alice. "Why haven't you brought along your key? Dick enquired, a little indignantly..

What's wrong with opening the door once in a While, big brother?" returned Alice, skutting the Hoor behind her.

"I don't mind that, but, ita interrupting ny Arabian adventure what I object to " replied Dick, Waving the book he had been reading before her fage, ad both walked to the sitting-room, *

"Besides you still have mý key. But where a

"Well, what do you think?" Her smile grow

"Now don't let that awell your head, Next year. your exam 18 the real one. Your future may depend on

admonished Dick

That's the trouble with you boys. Horrying about the exama all the time. While it is true that one's future may depend on the results of one's exans, exams shouldn't bother the girls at all. “Sha declared with some pride in her voice.

"I know what you are thinking," Dick was always. ready for an argument. "Marriage is what you girls always look forward to. No matter how many At you get in your school Cert, they can never be equal to, a Prince Charming, isn't it?u

"Wait a minute," reasoned her brother." Isn't it universally accepted that girls on their accession to womanhood begin the journey of preparation for better matrimonial prospects?*

"What are you talking about?"!

"Coopps, I forgot that you have not passed your School Cert. yet. Let me put it in simpler English. I mean to say.""

"Now there goes your impudence again. When will you ever stop being so sarcastic," she said biting · her teeth at the last word.

"I apologise. I was saying that when girls become women they start making themselves charming, which explains why the cosmetics industry never goes bankrupt, for if they lack charm they may remain old maids for ever. Education does not improve their marriage prospects it may on the other hand lengthen their spinsterhood. Take the case of Diana."

"You mean our neighbour's third daughter?" "That's right. Now if I am not wrong she muat be in her thirties, and is still unmarried."

"But that's because she; desires to marry someon, with a Master's degree."

"Precisely.Would she aim for a husband with high, academic qualification if she hadn't herself got a B.A.? Those who are willing to propose to her da zot have such qualifications, and those who have, refuse to marry her simply because of the contour lines on her face." My point is girls do not higher. education; the only education they need is one that helps her goquire wifely virtues."

'I for one," declared Alics as she was finding herself losing her temper, "would like to see what sort of wife you have!"

"Now, who is being impudent? I was merely- stating my viewi

"And I was merely stating opinion about yon.!.

"You are not entitled to." Dick stopped, as bo heard the front door slam, and before he could

speak, they heard their mother's voice. "Allio8.... look what I've got for you.l

Mom, I've got good news for you", replied Alice as she rose from her seat to meet her mother.

"So you have passed your examination.. Hor mother had already guessed 50. "Now try this pair or shoes on.

"They're oute; they fit me nicely,” replied Alice as she slipped her legs into the shoes.

"I got then at bargain price, but I wasn't sure If they matched the dress you have made for tomorrow night?"

"Wait, let's see," Alice went into ner room sand came out with a bright coloured frook in her band. See, mom the shoes, de match it, don't they?
