"If she cannot, perhaps you can. You are so shrewd. Do tell me, what does it all mean?" "It means nothing at all, I dare say; only a woman's impulse. They are such geese at times, every one of them."
Hong Kong is filled with unfortunate "remittance men," good fellows at heart, whose downfall dates from their introduction to the chit.
