Presently the door was opened by a Chinese boy who wore the ordinary native working dress, and who regarded the man upon the step with oblique, tired-looking eyes. "Mr. Huang Chow?" asked the caller. The boy nodded. "You wantchee him see?" "If he is at home." The boy glanced at the card, which the visitor still held between finger and thumb, and extended his hand silently.
So that old Chinese manvantara is gone after the Dragon Fo-hi and the Yellow Emperor, after the Man-Kings and the Earth-Kings and the Heaven-Kings; and Yao, Shun, and Yu the Great, and the kings of Hia, and Shang, and even Chow, are but names and shadows, Quo pater, Aeneas, quo dires Tullus et Ancus, we cannot make them interestingly alive.
Oh my, yes; and a soft collar that matched his lilac striped shirt, and cuff links and socks that toned in with both, and a Chow dog on a leather leash. Then Pa Gummidge, shaved and slicked up as to face and hair, his bowlegs in a pair of striped weddin' trousers and the rest of him draped in a frock coat and a fancy vest, with gold eyeglasses hung on him by a black ribbon.
But them Chinks was the gratefullest gang yer ever seen. They brought us presents; things ter eat fruit, poultry, eggs, an' all sorts of chow, some of it mighty funny lookin', but it tasted all right; we lived high, we three. The other fellers was wild ter know how we woiked it. An' I tell yer I ain't never been skeered o' ghosts sence that is, not ter speak of much!"

You can't mistake him. I'll write out a medical certificate for Jeremy and follow. And say; wait a minute! What price the lot of you eating Mabel's chow tonight at our house?
A side from all that Al we was supposed to have our chow a hr. ago but no chow and some of the boys says its on acct. of our back arears being under fire and you see the kitchens is way back of the front lines and the boys on chow detail is supposed to bring our food up here but when the back arears is under fire they are scared to bring it up or they might maybe run into some bad luck on the way.
Susan, made a little curious and uneasy by a subtle sense of something unsaid something pending, began to wonder, too, if it had really been accident that assembled them there.

Thank goodness, the music will drown her war talk. Good-by." She nodded here and there and left, to be driven home with her adipose chow in a Rolls-Royce. Christine Hurley touched a photograph that stood on Joan's desk. "Who's this good-looking person?" she asked. "My husband," said Joan. "Oh, really! When are we to see something of him?" "Oh, I don't know," said Joan. "He's about somewhere."
This old lady's son, Manuel, joined too, and his wife and babies went along. That explains why they let us alone last night." "It does," said Scott. "And it shows that Angel is around somewhere bent on deviltry. Here, old lady, is something to buy chow for the babies for a few days better luck to you!" He handed her some money and they drove away amid loud thanks and happy smiles.
The Biscuits on which she specialized were light as Down. The Things she fixed to Eat were Fine and Dandy but she never had heard of a Cuisine. When you took her away from regular Chow and made her tackle something Casserole or En Tasse, she blew. Also there was a Maid who should have belonged to the Stevedore's Union.
