Ancient
history
,
all
,
told
me
by
Kim
on
the
long
ride
,
and
he
struggled
with
his
face
to
hear
me
parrot
his
teaching
.
"
These
,
"
I
said
,
when
the
Emperor
had
asked
me
about
my
company
,
"
these
are
my
slaves
,
all
except
that
old
churl
there
"
--
I
indicated
Johannes
Maartens
--
"
who
is
the
son
of
a
freed
man
.
"
I
told
Hendrik
Hamel
to
approach
.
"
This
one
,
"
I
wantoned
on
,
"
was
born
in
my
father
's
house
of
a
seed
slave
who
was
born
there
before
him
.
He
is
very
close
to
me
.
We
are
of
an
age
,
born
on
the
same
day
,
and
on
that
day
my
father
gave
him
me
.
"
Afterwards
,
when
Hendrik
Hamel
was
eager
to
know
all
that
I
had
said
,
and
when
I
told
him
,
he
reproached
me
and
was
in
a
pretty
rage
.
"
The
fat
's
in
the
fire
,
Hendrik
,
"
quoth
I.
"
What
I
have
done
has
been
out
of
witlessness
and
the
need
to
be
saying
something
.
But
done
it
is
.
Nor
you
nor
I
can
pluck
forth
the
fat
.
We
must
act
our
parts
and
make
the
best
of
it
.
"
Taiwun
,
the
Emperor
's
brother
,
was
a
sot
of
sots
,
and
as
the
night
wore
on
he
challenged
me
to
a
drinking
.
The
Emperor
was
delighted
,
and
commanded
a
dozen
of
the
noblest
sots
to
join
in
the
bout
.
The
women
were
dismissed
,
and
we
went
to
it
,
drink
for
drink
,
measure
for
measure
.
Kim
I
kept
by
me
,
and
midway
along
,
despite
Hendrik
Hamel
's
warning
scowls
,
dismissed
him
and
the
company
,
first
requesting
,
and
obtaining
,
palace
lodgment
instead
of
the
inn
.
Next
day
the
palace
was
a-buzz
with
my
feast
,
for
I
had
put
Taiwun
and
all
his
champions
snoring
on
the
mats
and
walked
unaided
to
my
bed
.
Never
,
in
the
days
of
vicissitude
that
came
later
,
did
Taiwun
doubt
my
claim
of
Korean
birth
.
Only
a
Korean
,
he
averred
,
could
possess
so
strong
a
head
.
The
palace
was
a
city
in
itself
,
and
we
were
lodged
in
a
sort
of
summer-house
that
stood
apart
.
The
princely
quarters
were
mine
,
of
course
,
and
Hamel
and
Maartens
,
with
the
rest
of
the
grumbling
cunies
,
had
to
content
themselves
with
what
remained
.
I
was
summoned
before
Yunsan
,
the
Buddhist
priest
I
have
mentioned
.
It
was
his
first
glimpse
of
me
and
my
first
of
him
.
Even
Kim
he
dismissed
from
me
,
and
we
sat
alone
on
deep
mats
in
a
twilight
room
.
Lord
,
Lord
,
what
a
man
and
a
mind
was
Yunsan
!
He
made
to
probe
my
soul
.
He
knew
things
of
other
lands
and
places
that
no
one
in
Cho-Sen
dreamed
to
know
.
Did
he
believe
my
fabled
birth
?
I
could
not
guess
,
for
his
face
was
less
changeful
than
a
bowl
of
bronze
.
What
Yunsan
's
thoughts
were
only
Yunsan
knew
.
But
in
him
,
this
poor-clad
,
lean-bellied
priest
,
I
sensed
the
power
behind
power
in
all
the
palace
and
in
all
Cho-Sen
.
I
sensed
also
,
through
the
drift
of
speech
,
that
he
had
use
of
me
.
Now
was
this
use
suggested
by
the
Lady
Om
?
--
a
nut
I
gave
Hendrik
Hamel
to
crack
.
I
little
knew
,
and
less
I
cared
,
for
I
lived
always
in
the
moment
and
let
others
forecast
,
forfend
,
and
travail
their
anxiety
.
