"I want excitement, and valuable information, but I don't want to unduly excite the neighbors." "Oh, don't worry about the neighbors," said the boy, as he poured a little powder under the barrel of dried apples. "Now, as you say, this is Port Arthur. This chest of Oolong tea represents a Japanese cruiser outside the harbor.
The total product of this tea is but 18,000,000 lbs. per annum, an insignificant quantity compared with the aggregate crops of Chinese or of Indian tea gardens. If the exceptional characteristics of Formosa Oolong accompanied the plant when removed to other localities, its cultivation would quickly become greatly extended.
"At Tompkins's I alluz go to him for my Oolong I heard that Doc Crandall won't vote for you after your dead set at the place. He's one of your party, isn't he?" "Yes. The doctor is one of us. Good fellow, too." "And at Brady's, where I get my corn meal, I heard somebody say you've got the Irish down on you." "Oh, I hope not," returned the candidate, cheerfully.
Professor Johnston says that these precious oils are artificially developed by manufacture. Green tea, they first remove from the green leaf, imparts very little flavor or scent to its infusion. In some Oolong Black teas, and in some Ceylon Black teas, these oils are highly developed and are very fragrant.
"This figure is universally allowed to be the tallest figure in my collection; he originated in the two provinces of Oolong and Shanghi, one province not being long enough to produce him.

While she was drinking her tea Katie entered, smiling with both her eyes and all her teeth. "Well, my ladyship, ma'am, this looks like life at last; don't it, though?" "I think so, Katie," said her mistress, sipping her aromatic "oolong."
He looked at her with a kind of wan and patient smile. His own voice was dry, husky, sibilant sixty years of Lake Michigan. She smiled back at his "Jennie"; that was always her name on such occasions. "It isn't about Oolong?" she asked, in burlesque anxiety. "No." "Well, then, is it the Sisters?" "Not the Sisters. They were in last week." "Guess again, then," said Jane, perseveringly.
Let the ring of the tea-bell be sharp and musical. Walk into the room fragrant with Oolong or Young Hyson. Seat yourself at the tea-table wide enough apart to have room to take out your pocket-handkerchief if you want to cry at any pitiful story of the day, or to spread yourself in laughter if some one propound an irresistible conundrum.
"And for weeks we toiled at catching beche-de-mer and curing it, in gathering the cocoanuts and turning them into copra. By day and night the smoke rose in clouds from all the beaches of all the islands of Oolong as we paid the penalty of our wrongdoing. For in those days of death it was burned clearly on all our brains that it was very wrong to harm a white man.
