"Yes'm. And when I remembered that Nelse Howard was " "Go to bed this minute!" "Yes'm. But how do you 'spose he's goin' to "
It was in the autumn of the same year that Europe decided upon the dividing-up of China, that soldiers were instructed by Christian monarchs to massacre men, women and children, the idea being to impress upon the Heathen Chinee the superior civilization of the white man.
