inconsistency       of   refusing;    even   with    contempt;     to   receive    our   most 

intimate form of regard and use this person's lip…cloth after a feast; yet the 

mulish eagerness in that same youth to drink from a cup previously used 

by a lesser one。 As of the precision (which still remains a cloud of doubt;) 

with which creatures so intractable as the bull are successfully trained to 

roar aloud at certain gong…strokes of the day as an agreed signal。 As of the 

streets in movement; the lights at evening; and the voices of those unseen。 

As of these and as of other matters; so multitudinous that they crowd about 

this   person's    mind     like  the   assembling      swallows;     circling    above    the 

deserted millet fields before they turn their beaks to the sea; and dropping

his    brush    (perchance     with   an   acquiescent      sigh);  he;   also;   kow…tows 

submissively   to   a   blind   but   appointed   destiny;   and   prepares   to   seek   a 

passage from an alien land of sojourning。 

     With the impetuous craving of an affectionate son to behold a revered 

sire; intensified by the fact that he has reached the innermost lining of his 

sleeve;   with affectionate   greetings   towards   Ning;  Hia…Fa;  and T'ian Yen; 

and     an  assurance     that   they   have    never   been    really   absent    from   his 

thoughts。 

     KONG HO。 



       Ernest Bramah; of whom in his lifetime Who's Who had so little to 

say;    was    born   in   Manchester。      At   seventeen     he  chose    farming     as   a 

profession;   but   after   three   years   of   losing   money   gave   it   up   to   go   into 

journalism。 He started as correspondent on a typical provincial paper; then 

went   to   London   as   secretary   to   Jerome   K。   Jerome;   and   worked   himself 

into   the   editorial   side   of   Jerome's   magazine;   To…day;   where   he   got   the 

opportunity of meeting the most important literary figures of the day。 But 

he    soon    left  To…day    to   join  a   new    publishing     firm;   as  editor   of  a 

publication called The Minister; finally; after two years of this; he turned 

to writing as his full…time occupation。 He was intensely interested in coins 

and published a book on the English regal copper coinage。 He is; however; 

best known as the creator of the charming character Kai Lung who appears 

in Kai Lung Unrolls His Mat; Kai Lung's Golden Hours; The Wallet of Kai 

Lung; Kai Lung Beneath the Mulberry Tree; The Mirror of Kong Ho; and 

The Moon of Much Gladness; he also wrote two one… act plays which are 

often performed at London variety theatres; and many stories and articles 

in leading periodicals。 He died in 1942。
