"What do they do with their prisoners keep them here?" "No, ship 'em to German East Africa an' intern 'em. The Prince Eitel is due 'ere tomorrow to ship us." So that was the explanation of all this mystery War! Madden fell silent with the sensation of a man who had lost his footing on earth. All his life he had been accustomed to peace.
As you go forward from these mountains, the plants, trees, and fruits are all different from those of the land of Han, excepting only the bamboo, pomegranate, and sugar-cane. See Eitel, p. 89. He describes the assembly as "an ecclesiastical conference, first instituted by king Asoka for general confession of sins and inculcation of morality."
Doris Leighton smiled at Elinor in the crowd and murmured a word of praise for the singing, adding, however, that she was afraid that the janitor could hardly appreciate it. "What's that?" asked Griffin, whose quick ear had caught the last words. "Not appreciate it? Why, do you know that Eitel used to be butler for Patti in his youth? Fie, fie, my child; likewise, go to."
Eitel, p. 65. See chapter xii, note 2. A passage rather difficult to construe. The "families" would be those more devout than their neighbours. One rarely hears this preaching in China. It struck me most as I once heard it at Osaka in Japan. There was a pulpit in a large hall of the temple, and the audience sat around on the matted floor.
"He is," says Eitel, "the personification of lust, the god of love, sin, and death, the arch-enemy of goodness, residing in the heaven Paranirmita Vasavartin on the top of the Kamadhatu. He assumes different forms, especially monstrous ones, to tempt or frighten the saints, or sends his daughters, or inspires wicked men like Devadatta or the Nirgranthas to do his work.
By the time he and Roodie struck the earth, Lad tore free from the unloving embrace and whizzed about to face the second of his foes. Eitel had taken advantage of the moment's respite to seize with his uninjured hand his slashed wrist.
Eitel, p. 64. The bhikshunis are the female monks or nuns, subject to the same rules as the bhikshus, and also to special ordinances of restraint. See Hardy's E. M., chap. 17. The Sramaneras are the novices, male or female, who have vowed to observe the Shikshapada, or ten commandments. Fa-Hsien was himself one of them from his childhood.
"I must go. If I'm to sail with the Eitel at daybreak, I've little time!" But he did not go. As he advanced toward Harris with his hand outstretched in adieu, the face of the consul halted him. With the letters, the clerk had placed upon the table a visiting-card, and as it lay in the circle of light from the lamp the consul, as though it were alive and menacing, stared at it in fascination.
We cannot tell exactly what the pronunciation of them was, about fifteen hundred years ago, in the time of Fa-Hsien; but the southern mandarin must be a shade nearer to it than that of Peking at the present day. In transliterating the Indian names I have for the most part followed Dr. Eitel, with such modification as seemed good and in harmony with growing usage.
Many were the young men, therefore, who forsook the trains of Mrs. Fitzherbert, of Miss Golding, Lady Bunyip, the Countess of Carment, and Mrs. Arlington herself to be introduced to Patsy. Louis himself was compelled, much against his will, to make some of these presentations.
