    a- A traveller shouted, and Chi Lung squalled, and the concertina, with its alternate sob and squeak, welded the noises into one appalling discord.  When this was at its height, the traveller, turning round with a gesture of humorous despair, stood for one moment as if he were suddenly frozen into stone, then blushing crimson he bowed.

   b- A fat gentleman, in the very height of Belgian sporting fashion, was hanging on to the branch of an oak tree with his toes dangling two feet from the ground, and a well-grown boar was tusking at the soles of his boots.

   c- Chi Lung opened the window, and never daring to look behind him at the El Dorado he was running away from, he clambered out, and leaving the window wide open, walked into the region of the unknown.

Condition is Very Good.
