A modest drinking bout which had its windup in a fan-tan house over in Kowloon, where O'Higgins tussled with varying fortune until five in the morning. Well, well; all he himself could do would be to watch this singular drama unroll. Determined, however, to conquer the feeling as soon as possible, Wood had given orders to have the evening meal served there; but, notwithstanding all his good resolutions upon his first entrance, he had much ado to maintain his self-command. He breathed heavily, as though he had been running. She let him take off her skirt as she ritualistically removed his jeans along with his boxers. Everything proclaimed the mischievous propensities of the recent occupants of the chamber. When the doctor came in—he had just finished his breakfast—O'Higgins rose and presented his card. A slow horror was dawning in his fixed eyes. He had barely settled at his desk in his library, when he was disturbed by two morning callers. The ripple of the water against the boat, as its keel cleaves through the stream—the darkling current hurrying by—the indistinctly-seen craft, of all forms and all sizes, hovering around, and making their way in ghostlike silence, or warning each other of their approach by cries, that, heard from afar, have something doleful in their note—the solemn shadows cast by the bridges—the deeper gloom of the echoing arches—the lights glimmering from the banks—the red reflection thrown upon the waves by a fire kindled on some stationary barge—the tall and fantastic shapes of the houses, as discerned through the obscurity;—these, and other sights and sounds of the same character, give a sombre colour to the thoughts of one who may choose to indulge in meditation at such a time and in such a place.
