He
regarded
me
intently
.
"
Do
you
think
you
can
win
to
her
?
"
he
questioned
.
I
was
half
in
the
air
at
the
challenge
.
He
smiled
his
satisfaction
.
"
But
not
too
quickly
,
"
he
advised
.
"
Quick
things
are
cheap
things
.
Put
a
prize
upon
yourself
.
Be
chary
of
your
kindnesses
.
Make
a
value
of
your
bull
throat
and
yellow
hair
,
and
thank
God
you
have
them
,
for
they
are
of
more
worth
in
a
woman
's
eyes
than
are
the
brains
of
a
dozen
philosophers
.
"
Strange
whirling
days
were
those
that
followed
,
what
of
my
audiences
with
the
Emperor
,
my
drinking
bouts
with
Taiwun
,
my
conferences
with
Yunsan
,
and
my
hours
with
the
Lady
Om
.
Besides
,
I
sat
up
half
the
nights
,
by
Hamel
's
command
,
learning
from
Kim
all
the
minutiæ
of
court
etiquette
and
manners
,
the
history
of
Korea
and
of
gods
old
and
new
,
and
the
forms
of
polite
speech
,
noble
speech
,
and
coolie
speech
.
Never
was
sea-cuny
worked
so
hard
.
I
was
a
puppet
--
puppet
to
Yunsan
,
who
had
need
of
me
;
puppet
to
Hamel
,
who
schemed
the
wit
of
the
affair
that
was
so
deep
that
alone
I
should
have
drowned
.
Only
with
the
Lady
Om
was
I
man
,
not
puppet
...
and
yet
,
and
yet
,
as
I
look
back
and
ponder
across
time
,
I
have
my
doubts
.
I
think
the
Lady
Om
,
too
,
had
her
will
with
me
,
wanting
me
for
her
heart
's
desire
.
Yet
in
this
she
was
well
met
,
for
it
was
not
long
ere
she
was
my
heart
's
desire
,
and
such
was
the
immediacy
of
my
will
that
not
her
will
,
nor
Hendrik
Hamel
's
,
nor
Yunsan
's
,
could
hold
back
my
arms
from
about
her
.
In
the
meantime
,
however
,
I
was
caught
up
in
a
palace
intrigue
I
could
not
fathom
.
I
could
catch
the
drift
of
it
,
no
more
,
against
Chong
Mong-ju
,
the
princely
cousin
of
the
Lady
Om
.
Beyond
my
guessing
there
were
cliques
and
cliques
within
cliques
that
made
a
labyrinth
of
the
palace
and
extended
to
all
the
Seven
Coasts
.
But
I
did
not
worry
.
I
left
that
to
Hendrik
Hamel
.
To
him
I
reported
every
detail
that
occurred
when
he
was
not
with
me
;
and
he
,
with
furrowed
brows
,
sitting
darkling
by
the
hour
,
like
a
patient
spider
unravelled
the
tangle
and
spun
the
web
afresh
.
As
my
body
slave
he
insisted
upon
attending
me
everywhere
;
being
only
barred
on
occasion
by
Yunsan
.
Of
course
I
barred
him
from
my
moments
with
the
Lady
Om
,
but
told
him
in
general
what
passed
,
with
exception
of
tenderer
incidents
that
were
not
his
business
.
I
think
Hamel
was
content
to
sit
back
and
play
the
secret
part
.
He
was
too
cold-blooded
not
to
calculate
that
the
risk
was
mine
.
If
I
prospered
,
he
prospered
.
If
I
crashed
to
ruin
,
he
might
creep
out
like
a
ferret
.
I
am
convinced
that
he
so
reasoned
,
and
yet
it
did
not
save
him
in
the
end
,
as
you
shall
see
.
"
Stand
by
me
,
"
I
told
Kim
,
"
and
whatsoever
you
wish
shall
be
yours
.
Have
you
a
wish
?
"
