At first I could not understand the meaning of this, and told Chung to ask the Ty Kong for an explanation. "Have eye," translated Chung, "can see; no have eye, no can see." On occasions of special religious demonstration these optics were decorated with strips of red cloth.
"Let us go in and await what may befall; I dread what the ty" here he prudently checked himself, remembering, no doubt, "that a bird of the air might carry the matter," "I dread what he may do, if they are really investing the place.
