"After all, it's delightful to get away like this from Peking and to see the world, isn't it ? " " Under happier circumstances, it would be, " replied Kuang Hsii. At this point Ts'en Ch'un-hsiian brought Her Majesty a large bouquet of yellow flowers, a present which touched her deeply : in return she sent him a jar of butter-milk tea. On the 7th, the only accommodation which the local officials had been able to prepare at Yiian-p'ing was a mud- house belonging to one of the common people, in wh...ich, by an oversight, several empty coffins had been left. Ts'en, arriving ahead of the party, was told of this, and galloped to make excuses to Her Majesty and take her orders. Happily, the " Motherly Countenance ' was not moved to wrath, and "the divine condescension was manifested. " "If the coffins can be moved, move them, " she said ; " but so long as they are not in the main room, I do not greatly mind their remaining. " They were all removed, however, and the Old Buddha was protected from possibly evil influences.
