147 His shopmen also wore very handsome clothes, and served us standing behind beautifully polished counters. In one part of the shop were all kinds of silk materials, and some stuff called grass-matting. We went down- stairs to see furniture and beautiful porcelain. The principal curiosities had come from Canton, so I suppose when we get there we shall find still better things ; and in Canton people paint on that pretty rice paper. Across the road were meat, fish, vegetable, and puppy-dog shop...s. Yes, the Chinese do eat dogs : in some shops in Hong-Kong we have seen a number for sale ; and they eat cats and rats too. We could tell a shop in which clothes were sold some little distance off, because an imitation jacket, or something of that sort, was hung up outside, as well as the long sign-boards, which told what kind of shops they were. Leonard says I am to tell you that a policeman was outside. He always knows policemen now by turbans that they wear, and they often hold a little cane in their hands ; and on the path- way a man sat, wearing a hat just like one of those funny-looking things, with a point, that we wore for fun sometimes in the garden.
