斋

Tu Chu-chai nodded again, but made no comment.

杜竹斋点头, 却不作声.

Tell you what , Chu-chai , let's go halves on raising this five hundred thousand!

得了, 竹斋, 我们两个人拼凑出五十万来罢!

Wu Sun-fu and Tu Chu-chai were rather startled.

荪 甫 和竹斋都吃了一惊.

The more enthusiastic Wu Sun-fu became, the less he felt like having a hand in it.

吴荪甫说的愈有劲儿, 杜竹斋心里却是愈加怕.

Wu Sun-fu made no reply to this question, and only glanced at Tu Chu-chai .

吴荪甫不回答, 只望了 杜竹斋 一眼.

Tu Chu-chai closed his eyes and shook his head, but said nothing.

杜竹斋 闭了眼睛摇头, 不说话.

Wu Sun-fu's eyebrows shot up and he and Tu Chu-chai exchanged a glance of surprise.

吴荪甫立刻眉毛一跳,和杜竹斋对看了一眼,露出不胜诧异的神气.

No , Chu-chai , we can't just let things slide!

竹斋,一定不能消极!

Tu Chuchai wouldn't admit that to me, but It'stood out a mile.

竹斋不肯对我明说, 可是我看得出来.

Again Tu Chu-chai closed his eyes and shook his head, but said nothing.

杜竹斋 闭了眼睛摇头, 不开口.

No , he couldn't do that if Tu Chu-chai wouldn't fork out and help him.

竹斋不肯凑款子可怎么好?

" Huei-fang, meet Tu Hsin-to ; Brother-in-law Chu-chai's son. "

“ 四妹,我来给你介绍,这位是竹斋 姊夫 的少爷, 杜新. ”

Wu Sun-fu and Tu Chu-chai began talking about the day's events on the Exchange.

这里,吴荪 甫 与 杜竹斋 就谈起交易所方面的经过来.

Tu Chu-chai paused again to fish out a handkerchief and mop his forehead triumphantly.

杜竹斋 又顿住了,踌躇满志地掏出手帕来揩了揩脸儿.

In the big drawing-room he found his wife, his sister Huei-fang and Tu Hsin-to.

少奶奶, 四小姐,杜竹斋的大少爷新 箨,都在客厅里.
