Outside stood a Chinaman in a black skirt and a jacket of blue brocade. He was smiling and kotowing. "Would the lady like to see some things?" "Come in," said Jane, readily. Ling Foo deposited his pack on the floor and opened it. He had heard that a single woman had come in the night before and, shrewd merchant that he was, he had wasted no time.
But I do hope you can stay awake at our play this evening." "The man who invented sleep as a blessing didn't take into account city brokers who change their minds about trains," he returned. "I hope old Ike Jones will sing that 'Ring, ting! Foo loo larry, lo day' song of his all the way coming up from Levant. It'll be about the sort of punishment that Behind-time Barnes deserves."
Let me have him make you a dish of tea," and the order was given before she could protest. "While we are waiting for Ah Foo I'll show you some of Jack's sketches," he went on, finding a portfolio and opening it upon the drawing-board. "Are you quite sure Mr. Winton won't mind?" she asked. "Mind? He'd give a month's pay to be here to show them himself.

There was the pair of amethyst cups of the turbaned King of Foo, the one that he drank from himself, and the one that he gave to his enemies, eye could not tell which was which. All these things the ex-King of Eritivaria showed me, telling me a marvelous tale of each; of his own he had brought nothing, except the mascot that used once to sit on the top of the water tube of his favorite motor.
