There was a man once* I forget his name, but we may call him Cho Kung for our purposes; he was of affable demeanor, and an excellent flautist; and had an enormous disbelief in ghosts, bogies, goblins, and 'supernatural' beings of every kind. It seized him with the force of a narrow creed; and he went forth to missionarize, seeking disputants.
He pulled up the mules abruptly, so that the pole shot ahead of them, elevating their collars. "You see, it was a mistake," said Ah Cho, smiling pleasantly. But Cruchot was thinking. Already he regretted that he had stopped the wagon.
"The coral waxes, the palm grows, but man departs." Tahitian proverb. Ah Cho did not understand French. He sat in the crowded court room, very weary and bored, listening to the unceasing, explosive French that now one official and now another uttered.
Tender to all living things, Yuki San dropped quickly to her knees and folded the half-chilled creature between the palms of her warm hands. "Ah, Cho Cho San," she said, "the day of yesterday you so big and strong. The morning of to-day you have the weakness of cold body. That Jack Floss him ve'y naughty boy!"
For, if the fiscal system was thus defective during the comparatively prosperous age of the Ashikaga, it fell into measureless confusion at a later date. It has been stated above that the area under rice cultivation at the middle of the fifteenth century was about one million did; at the close of that century the figure was found to have decreased by more than fifty thousands of cho.
Under the name of Cho Densu the Abbot Cho he acquired perpetual fame by his paintings of Buddhist saints. But Mincho's religious pictures did not help to introduce the Sung academy to Japan. That task was reserved for Josetsu a priest of Chinese or Japanese origin who, during the second half of the fourteenth century, became the teacher of many students at the temple Shokoku-ji, in Kyoto.
Hakuseki was able to detect that the conduct of the envoys violated in many respects the rules of Chinese etiquette, and having obtained the shogun's nomination to receive the envoy, Cho, he convinced the latter that there must be no more neglect of due formalities.
"You are very funny," he said at last. Ah Cho nodded and beamed more ardently. Unlike the magistrate, Cruchot spoke to him in the Kanaka tongue, and this, like all Chinagos and all foreign devils, Ah Cho understood. "You laugh too much," Cruchot chided. "One's heart should be full of tears on a day like this." "I am glad to get out of the jail." "Is that all?" The gendarme shrugged his shoulders.
The proprietor of the tofuya had a different experience. A man in wretched attire used to come to his shop every evening to buy a cho of tofu, which he devoured on the spot with the haste of one long famished. Every evening for weeks he came, and never spoke; but the landlord saw one evening the tip of a bushy white tail protruding from beneath the stranger's rags.
The question that we had discussed the evening before was brought to an issue, however, by his requiring from John Cho, who was with us, permission to buy about an acre of land in his territory. John was much staggered at this. It looked to him like a surrender of his rights.
