difficulty. We were marching late in
the dark, and had sent my groom
on ahead to find me an inn. as he had
often done before. He entered the
village. and, finding the large inn door
closed. he called out to the people to
open it. But his Picking speech is not
easily understood in Kansu, and no one
answered him. Then he knocked, and
to his sdismay the crazy door fell down.
Immediately there was row. The
tnnkeeper and his vociferous spouse
shouted out their wrongs.

hear; the whole village was reused.
