Beauty of the Harem or a Hairy Lama from Tibet。; 

     Not   absolutely  grasping the   emergency�察  �yet   in   a   spirit   of   inoffensive 

cordiality     I  remarked     that   the  alternative    was    insufferably     perplexing�察�

while he continued。 

     ;Then I spotted you�察�and in a flash I got an idea that ought to take and 

turn out really great if you'll come in。 Now follow this�此�Missionary's tent 

in   the   wilds   of   Pekin。   Domestic   interior   by  lamp´light。   Missionary   ��me�� 

reading   evening   paper�察  �missionary's   wife   ��the   missus��   making   tea�察  �and 

between   times   singing   to   keep   the   small   pet   goat   quiet   ��small   goat�察  �a 

pillow�察�horsecloth�察�and pocket´handkerchief��。 Breaks down singing�察�sobs�察�

and    says   she   feels   a  strange   all´over    presentiment。      Missionary   admits 

being a bit fluffed himself�察�and lets out about a notice signed in blood that 

he's seen in the city。; 

     ;Carried upon a pole�拭─�this person demanded�察�feeling that something 

of a literary nature might yet be wrested into the incident。

     ;On a   flagstaff   if you   like�察─  �conceded the other one   magnanimously。 

;A notice to the effect that it is the duty of every jack mother's son of them 

to   douse   the   foreign   devils�察  �man�察  �woman�察  �and   child�察  �and   especially   the 

talk´book   pass´hat´round   men。   Also   that   he   has   had   several   brick´ends 

heaved at him on his way back。 Then stops suddenly�察�hits his upper crust�察�

and says that it's like his blamed fat´headedness to frighten her�察�while she 

clutches at herself three times and faints away。; 

     ;Amid the voluminous burning of blue lights�拭─�suggested this person 

resourcefully。 

     ;By  rights   there   should   be�察─  �admitted   the   one   who   was   devising   the 

representation�察 �but it will hardly run to it。 Anyway�察�it costs nothing to turn 

the lamp downsaves a bit in fact�察�and gives an effect。 Then outside�察�in the 

distance   at   first   you   understand�察  �you   begin   to   work   up   the   sound   of   the 

advancing   mobrattles�察  �shouts�察  �tum´tums�察  �groans�察  �tin   plates   and   all   that 

one mortal man can do with hands�察�feet and mouth。; 

     ;With the interspersal of an occasional cracker and the stirring notes 

produced by striking a hollow wooden fish repeatedly�拭─�I cried�察�for let it 

be   confessed   that   amid   the   portrayal   of   the   scene   my   imagination   had 

taken an allotted part。 

     ;If you like to provide them�察�and don't set the bally show on fire�察─�he 

replied。 ;Anyhow�察�these two aren't supposed to notice anything even when 

the   row   gets   louder。   Then   it   drops   and   you   are   heard   outside   talking   in 

whispers to the otherswords of command and telling them to keep back 

half´a´mo�察�and so on。 See�拭─�

     ;Doubtless introducing a spoken charm and repeating the words of an 

incantation against omens�察�treachery�察�and other matters。; 

     ;Next      a  flap   of   the   tent  down      on   the   floor   is  raised�察  �and    you 

reconnoitre�察  �looking   your   very   worst   and   holding   a   knife   between   your 

teeth   and   another   in   each   hand。  Wave   a   hand   to   your   followers   to   keep 

backor   come   on�此  �it   makes   no   difference。   Then   you   crawl   in   on   your 

stomach�察�give a terrific howl�察�and stab me in the back。 That rolls me under 

the curtain�察�and so lets me out。 The missus ups with the wood´chopper and 

stands before the cradle�察�while you yell and dance round with the knives。 

That ought to be made 'the moment' of the whole piece。 The great thing is

to   make   enough   noise。   If   you   can   yell   louder   than   the   talking´machine 

outfit on the next pitch we ought to turn money away。 While you are at it I 

start a fresh row outsideshouts�察�cheers�察�groans�察�words of command and a 

paper bag or two。 Seeing that the game is up you make a rush at the old 

woman�察�she downs you with the chopper�察�turns the lamp up full�察�shakes 

out a Union Jack over the sleeping infant�察�and finally stands in her finest 

attitude     with   one    hand    pointing    impressively      upwards      and    the  other 

contemptuously downwards just as Rule Britannia is played on the cornet 

outside and I appear at the door in a general's full uniform and let down 

the curtain。; 

     For    acting    in  the  manner      designatedas      touching     the  noises    both 

inside and out�察�the set dance with upraised knives�察�the casting to earth of 

himself�察�and being myself in turn vanquished by the aged female�察�with an 

added   compact   that   from   time   to   time   I   should   be   led   by   a   chain   and 

shown   to     the   people    from   a   raised   platformwe      agreed   upon      a  daily 

reward      of  two    pieces    of  silver�察  �an   adequacy     of   food�察  �and    a  certain 

ambiguously´referred´to share of the gain。 It need not be denied that with 

so favourable an opportunity of introducing passages from the Classics a 

much      less   sum    would    have    been    accepted�察    �but   having    obtained     this 

without a struggle�察�the one now recounting the facts raised the opportune 

suggestion       of   an    inscribed     placard�察   �in   order    to   fulfil   the   portent 

foreshadowed by William Greyson。

personage�察  �and   having   by   this   time   reached   that   spot   upon   the   Heath 

where his Domestic Altar had been raised�察�we entered。 

     ;All the most distinguished actors in this country take another name�察─�

he said reflectively�察�when he had drawn forth a parchment of praiseworthy 

dimensions   and   ink   of   three   colours�察   �and   though   I   have   nothing   to   say 

against Kong Ho Tsin Cheng Quank Paik T'chun Li Yuen Nung for quiet 

unostentatious   dignity�察  �it   doesn't   have   just   the   grip   and   shudder   that   we 

want。     Now      how    does    'Fang'    strike   you�拭─    �and    upon    my    courteous 

acquiescence   that   this   indeed   united   within   it   those   qualities   which   he 

required�察�he traced its characters in red ink upon a lavish scale。

expert proficiency which would infallibly gain him an early recognition at 

any   of   our   competitive   examinations�察  �he   presently   laid     before   me   the
