The child itself was an avatar of Ling Chu-tzu, 'the Intelligent Pearl. On the morrow T'ai-i Chên-jên returned and asked Li Ching's permission to see the new-born babe. "He shall be called No-cha," he said, "and will become my disciple." A Precocious Youth At seven years of age No-cha was already six feet in height. One day he asked his mother if he might go for a walk outside the town.
No creatures of their age had taken such quantities of Ching's lozenges, Godbold's elixir, or Dixon's antibilious pills. The consequence was, that the dangers, which had at first been imaginary, became real: these little victims of domestic medicine never had a day's health: they looked, and were, more dead than alive.
'No foreigners shall meddle with my food, she said; whereat Nelly was very glad, for she had only offered to go and help on An Ching's account. So Ku Nai-nai hustled off An Ching and Little Yi, at the same time telling Nelly to stay where she was. Nelly, left to herself, drew the bench upon which she had been sitting quite near the wall, so as to be in the shade.
"You come 'long o' Ching, I showee something velly nice ploper." "All right," I cried. "Now, Tanner, go and try it on with the doctor." "No, no. Ask offlicer. Doctor only give flizzick. Velly nastee.

Utter exhaustion had done its work, and my sleep was deep and dreamless. Once my eyes had closed, they did not open again till long after sunrise the next morning, when I lay there puzzled, and wondering where I was and what was the meaning of the murmur of voices apparently from somewhere overhead. Ching's voice chased away the remaining mists. "You had velly good s'eep?" he whispered.

Keep up the comedy of the shooting, and have a shot at something." "But there's nothing to shoot at, sir," I said, feeling rather doubtful of the accuracy of Ching's ideas.
At the door of the large building we met a lady, dressed the same as Prince Ching's daughters, with the exception that she had a phoenix in the center of her headdress which distinguished her from the others. This lady came out to meet us, smiling, and shook hands with us in the most approved foreign fashion. We were told later that this was the Young Empress, wife of the Emperor Kwang Hsu.
In front of Li Hung Chang's quarters he saw a great crowd, but so sure did he feel that Li would not break his solemn promises that he did not feel uneasy. A little later a large number of General Ching's men entered the city, yelling loudly, and firing off their guns.
Several weeks passed before Gordon could complete the necessary arrangements, but at last, on 19th November, he left Leeku at the head of the greater part of his own force and a large contingent of Ching's braves to attack the stockades at Fusaiquan on the Grand Canal, about four miles north of Leeku.
"You likee Ching show?" "Yes, of course. Prize-money, and you'd share." "Ching likee plize-money. You bling ship along, and Ching show." Ching's announcement cleared up what had been somewhat of a mystery.
