Into the soft song came a note of pain. A father and son were parting, for the son was to study for literary honors, while the father, who was skilled in carving, worked for money in the distant city. With a bird in a cage he began his journey, and soon the lark country was left behind. To the exiles in the little shop in Canton came mandarins and merchants whose seals must be engraved, and fame and money followed their visits. With 25 THE EXILES the work of the old man's hands weighty docu- me...nts were signed. The bird sang to the man, the man read letters to the bird, letters which told that all was well. The song became loud again, and very sweet, and ended gloriously. The old man roused him- self, and took from his sleeve the last letter, the one which said that the first degree had been taken, the money had been counted, and these things being satisfactory to the father of the beautiful Pearl, she had been promised to the writer, the old man's son. Wong Yuen smiled, but the eyes behind the big round spectacles grew dim.
