Laura burst into tears. “That is the walk，” she sobbed, “Kai Tzu and I so love; but never can we take it together again.”

　　“Now, little sister，” comforted Mrs. Spring Fragrance, “you really must not cry like that. Is there not a beautiful American poem written by a noble American named Tennyson, which says：

　　’Tis better to have loved and lost，

　　Than never to have loved at all？”

　　Mrs. Spring Fragrance was unaware that Mr. Spring Fragrance, having returned from the city, tired with the day’s business, had thrown himself down on the bamboo sofa on the corridor, and that although his eyes were busy scanning the pages of the Chinese World, his ears couldn’t help receiving the words through the open window.

　　“’Tis better to have loved and lost，

　　Than never to have loved at all.”

　　repeated Mr. Spring Fragrance. Not wishing to hear more secret talk of women, he arose and walked to the other side of the house. He felt in his pocket and touched a little box. It contained a jade necklace, which Mrs. Spring Fragrance had particularly admired the last time she was downtown. It was the fifth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Spring Fragra­nce’s wedding day.

　　Mr. Spring Fragrance pressed the little box down into the depths of his pocket.

　　A young man came out of the next­door house. “Good evening，” he said.
