Description:Excerpt from The Eternal Priestess: A Novel of China Manners: "Tse Kung said to Confucius: 'If you had a lovely jewel, would you hide it away in a casket, or would you try to sell it for a good price?' "The Master replied: 'Oh, certainly I would sell it, but I would wait until a price was offered.'" - "The Confucian Analects." Belle Lawson's voice broke on the hot, damp air sharply and unexpectedly: "Lizzie, Lizzie, what's the time, Lizzie?" There was a brief pause. Then the reply, prefaced by a chuckle of amusement, came lazily and sleepily through the half-open door in a curious drawl reminiscent of very different climes: "Half-past kissing-time, time to kiss again!" Belle Lawson jumped up from her sofa with an exclamation of panic, showing that the aphorism was both familiar and urgent in its local application. With one hand pressed against her face to moderate a yawn, and the other searching behind her in a hurried effort to gather up her hair, she tried to collect herself. Presently the words raced from her mouth in an odd medley indicative of her thoughts: "Half-past four already, and callers may catch us before we can get out? It's impossible - I must have slept. Now, Lizzie, we haven't a minute to spare, or else the tender will be in hours before we can get down to the wharf. My! how hot I am, and sleepy too! Lizzie, don't be foolish and laugh like that. We've got to, you promised -"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
