Of course we were punished and weren't allowed to go down to the Morrison Street Bazaar for a whole week. KM: That didn't go over well. HR: No. KM: What other things do you remember doing or what other memories do you have in this house? HR: Well, the courtyard. There was a downpour, a summer downpour storm and it flooded the court, and it was about at least six inches deep, because we all went wading, even the dog. And I thought maybe we had, at one time we had a picture of it, and we had the ...crickets. We put little saucers down and put the crickets in so they could go for a ride in the water, and luckily for Mother it drained off within about seven or eight hours, but it was really a lot of fun. Everybody was out wading, having a good time in the courtyard. KM: Now, your father was stationed, not stationed but headquartered in Peking. You came home in June. Was he able to be around much? - 19 - HR: Well, he was away maybe a quarter of the time but he only went on small trips. If somebody got in trouble or couldn't decide how to do whatever they were doing, why he would go and supervise and take care of any problem.
