Ching wear silk evely day in Queen Victolia countly. You no tink captain take Ching?" "I'm sure he would not," I said. "Ching velly good interpleter; velly useful man."

"Who are you?" Sofia demanded in a breath. A bob of courtesy, wholly charming, prefaced a reply pattered in English of quaintest accent: "You' handmaiden Chou Nu is my name." "My handmaiden!"
