Miss
Gannett
drank
coffee
whilst
Caroline
got
out
the
Mah
Jong
box
and
poured
out
the
tiles
upon
the
table
.
"
Washing
the
tiles
,
"
said
the
colonel
facetiously
.
"
That
’
s
right
–
washing
the
tiles
,
as
we
used
to
say
in
the
Shanghai
Club
.
"
It
is
the
private
opinion
of
both
Caroline
and
myself
that
Colonel
Carter
has
never
been
in
the
Shanghai
Club
in
his
life
.
More
,
that
he
has
never
been
farther
east
than
India
,
where
he
juggled
with
tins
of
bully
beef
and
plum
and
apple
jam
during
the
Great
War
.
But
the
colonel
is
determinedly
military
,
and
in
King
’
s
Abbot
we
permit
people
to
indulge
their
little
idiosyncrasies
freely
.
"
Shall
we
begin
?
"
said
Caroline
.
We
sat
round
the
table
.
For
some
five
minutes
there
was
complete
silence
,
owing
to
the
fact
that
there
is
tremendous
secret
competition
amongst
us
as
to
who
can
build
their
wall
quickest
.
"
Go
on
,
James
,
"
said
Caroline
at
last
.
"
You
’
re
East
Wind
.
"
I
discarded
a
tile
.
A
round
or
two
proceeded
,
broken
by
the
monotonous
remarks
of
"
Three
Bamboos
,
"
"
Two
Circles
,
"
"
Pung
,
"
and
frequently
from
Miss
Gannett
"
Unpung
,
"
owing
to
that
lady
’
s
habit
of
too
hastily
claiming
tiles
to
which
she
had
no
right
.
"
I
saw
Flora
Ackroyd
this
morning
,
"
said
Miss
Gannett
.
"
Pung
–
no
–
Unpung
.
I
made
a
mistake
.
"
"
Four
Circles
,
"
said
Caroline
.
"
Where
did
you
see
her
?
"
"
She
didn
’
t
see
me
,
"
said
Miss
Gannett
,
with
that
tremendous
significance
only
to
be
met
with
in
small
villages
.
"
Ah
!
"
said
Caroline
interestedly
.
"
Chow
.
"
"
I
believe
,
"
said
Miss
Gannett
,
temporarily
diverted
,
"
that
it
’
s
the
right
thing
nowadays
to
say
"
Chee
"
not
"
Chow
.
"
"
"
Nonsense
,
"
said
Caroline
.
"
I
have
always
said
"
Chow
.
"
"
"
In
the
Shanghai
Club
,
"
said
Colonel
Carter
,
"
they
say
"
Chow
;
"
Miss
Gannett
retired
,
crushed
.
"
What
were
you
saying
about
Flora
Ackroyd
?
"
asked
Caroline
,
after
a
moment
or
two
devoted
to
the
game
.
"
Was
she
with
anyone
?
"
"
Very
much
so
,
"
said
Miss
Gannett
.
