When I touched the soil of France, its damp and icy hands was no longer clasped in mine and it disappeared.
The business of "saving face," which often strikes foreigners in China as ludicrous, is only the carrying-out of respect for personal dignity in the sphere of social manners.

There was never a more agreeable travelling companion; he was always accessible, cheerful, sympathetic, considerate, tolerant; and there was always that same respectful interest in those with whom he talked, even the humblest, which raised them in their own estimation. One thing particularly impressed me, the sense that he seemed to have of a certain great amplitude of time and leisure.
