Very soon after her successful throw Nelly saw Chang's pleasant, round, smiling face appearing cautiously over the wall. When he was satisfied that no one else was looking, he came a step higher. 'What are the others doing, and where are they? 'They are all busy doing their hair, Nelly replied; 'at least An Ching and Ku Nai-nai are.
It must be after eleven now." "Miss Betty!" Lee Chang's voice was persuasive. "Miss Betty, that apple tart he all baked done now." "Apple tart?" shouted Bob. "Show me, Lee Chang! I'd rather have a corner of your pie than all the candy in New York." "Him for Miss Betty," said the Chinaman gravely. "But you don't care if I give Bob some, do you?" returned Betty coaxingly.
After coming back from Chang's house without having seen him, old Lu had found her son Wu-han in their little food shop. He had said to her: "You come at the right time. I must kill a pig this morning, and our assistant has gone out for the day." The old woman did not like this work. But she was very much afraid of her son, and did not dare to refuse.
At Chang's command many rare and expensive wines were then brought in, and partaken of without restraint by all persons, the repast being lightened by numerous well-considered and gravity-removing jests having reference to Ling and the unusual composition of his person.
All these sons became expert in Wei Chang's process of transferring porcelain embellishment, for some centuries elapsed before it was discovered that it was not absolutely necessary to sit upon each plate to produce the desired effect. This chronicle of an event that is now regarded as almost classical would not be complete without an added reference to the ultimate end of the sordid Fang.
He had not been there long when he saw a little red ball on the other side of the wall rise up in the air several times. Nelly was trying to throw a pebble wrapped in a piece of red paper over the wall, but as Bob Bates had often told her, she threw just like a girl, and it was only after several attempts that her little red messenger landed on Chang's side.
'We must write a letter at once, said Nelly, 'and throw it into Chang's compound. 'Yes, said An Ching, 'but who is to write it? This was a puzzle. An Ching, like nearly all Chinese women, could not write at all, and Nelly could only do so in English. 'You know some characters, Little Yi, continued An Ching. 'Suppose you try. Little Yi felt very much flattered. 'All right, she said.
Chang's present earnings are rather less than 7s. a month, without board and lodging; he is unmarried, and has no incumbrance; and he is slightly taller and much more massively built than a well-known American giant whom I once had permission to measure, who has been shown half over the world as the "tallest man on earth," his height being attested as "7ft. 11in. in his stockings' soles," and who commands the salary of an English admiral.
Because of Losinj's familiarity, however brief, with Chang's crew, Medart decided to change ships rather than having her do so; he chose the Empress Lindner, formerly Ranger Tarlac's ship. Rangers Fenn and Scolacz were recalled from Sector Traiti, which was unaffected by the rebellion because the White Order had not had time since the War to infiltrate.
"See, Lee Chang, Bob gave me these. You take some, and we'll eat the tart on our way home." From now on till dinner time Lee Chang's whole attention would be concentrated on the preparation of an excellent dinner for the men who worked that section of the oil fields. "I don't believe I can ride and eat this, after all," decided Betty.
