"I don't care for 'Liu An' tea!" old lady Chia exclaimed. "I know it; but this is old 'Chuen Mei," Miao Yue answered with a smile. Dowager lady Chia received the cup. "What water is this?" she went on to inquire. "It's rain water collected last year;" Miao Yue added by way of reply. Old lady Chia readily drank half a cup of the tea; and smiling, she proffered it to goody Liu.
If their lives had been more decent, they might have had a better chance to secure the favor of those powerful nations which had now become the arbiters of destiny in China. The leader of the movement was a Cantonese by the name of Hung Siu Chuen. A copy of the Bible having fallen into his hands, he applied to a Baptist missionary for instruction.
We were told that our execution was only postponed till the next day, in order that we might be tortured until the time came for us to be put to death. A number of Lamas and soldiers stood round jeering at us. I seized this opportunity to hail a swaggering Lama and ask him for some refreshment. "Orcheh, orcheh nga dappa tugu duh, chuen deh, dang, yak, guram, tcha, tsamba pin!"
But he doesn't know how to prescribe a single dose of efficacious medicine for his patients." "You have far too impatient a disposition!" She Yueeh said, as she advised her, with a smile. "'A disease, the proverb has it, 'comes like a crumbling mountain, and goes like silk that is reeled. Besides, they're not the divine pills of 'Lao Chuen'. How ever could there be such efficacious medicines?
Chia Chuen forthwith jumped forward with the intent of assailing the person who had flung the inkslab at the very moment that Chin Jung took hold of a long bamboo pole which was near by; but as the space was limited, and the pupils many, how could he very well brandish a long stick? Ming Yen at an early period received a whack, and he shouted wildly, "Don't you fellows yet come to start a fight."
"Venerable lady," a singing-girl put in, "you don't like the stories we tell; but may we thrum a song for you?" "You two," remarked old lady Chia, "had better play a duet of the 'Chiang Chuen ling' song: 'the general's command." Hearing her wishes, the two girls promptly tuned their cords, to suit the pitch of the song, and struck up on their guitars.
The name of Corea at this time was Kaoli, and the supreme direction of affairs at this period was held by a noble named Chuen Gaisoowun, who had murdered his own sovereign.
He watched with listless eye from his seat Chin Jung's friends stealthily assist Chin Jung, as they flung an inkslab to strike Ming Yen, but when, as luck would have it, it hit the wrong mark, and fell just in front of him, smashing to atoms the porcelain inkslab and water bottle, and smudging his whole book with ink, Chia Chuen was, of course, much incensed, and hastily gave way to abuse.
"But were there no Russians?" Mrs. Schoville asked. "Russians? Among the Chow Chuen?" He laughed his amusement. "Geographically, they are within the White Tsar's domain; but politically, no. I doubt if they ever heard of him. Remember, the interior of North-Eastern Siberia is hidden in the polar gloom, a terra incognita, where few men have gone and none has returned." "But you "
Chia Chuen could not repress his resentment; and perceiving that the inkslab was held down, he at once laid hold of a box containing books, which he flung in this direction; but being, after all, short of stature, and weak of strength, he was unable to send it anywhere near the mark; so that it dropped instead when it got as far as the desk belonging to Pao-yue and Ch'in Chung, while a dreadful crash became audible as it fell smash on the table.
