ich may exceed his idea of
the time required. Happening to be away for four days, I found that the
charges for food and bed to a leather bag and a walking-stick which I
had left behind were the same as those charged to myself when present in
the house. Henceforth, when I went abroad, I took those little things
with me, and opened a fresh account on my return. One finds soap and
lamp duly charged as extras in all Eastern hotel accounts. The only
thing for which no charge is made is the mosquito. This blood-thirsty
little creature in China will take no denial. Worried by the heat of the
day--the moist heat that so enervates one--a tired traveller will seek
mid-day rest, but find it not. The mosquitoes are upon him by day as by
night. They care nothing for nettings, and fairly laugh at the efforts
of their victim to dislodge them with a long feather whisk. They form a
very serious drawback to the pleasures of Eastern travel.
