"My friend, you know that it is not for a fortnight my house is open to you; it is for a year for ten years for life." "Thank you, Porthos." "Ah! but perhaps you want money do you?" said Porthos, making something like fifty louis chink in his pocket.
As the Bolsheviks were not concerned, foreigners had no hesitation in trying to bring relief. As for the Chinese, they regarded it passively as a stroke of fate, and even those who died of it shared this view.

They divide the day into three parts, the rise, power, and lowering, of the sun; and keep their accounts by knots on a string, or notches on a stick, of which Captain Smith relates a very pleasant story; that, when the princess Pocahonta went for England, a Coucarouse, or lord of her own nation, attended her; his name was Uttamaccomack: and king Powhatan, Pocahonta’s father, commanded him, when he arrived in England, to count the people, and give him an account of their number.

On deck there were merry partings, and the Newfoundland puppy business was resumed with exceeding vigour.
