My dear old chap, as far as I'm concerned I shouldn't care if you married the first cousin of the Ace of Spades. I don't want you to make a hash of things. (HARRY: Wait till you see her. She's the most fascinating thing you ever met.) Yes, they can be charming. I was awfully in love with a half--with a Eurasian girl myself years ago. It was before you came out to the country. I wanted to marry her. (HARRY: Why didn't you?) It was up in Chung-king. I'd just been appointed vice-consul. I was only twenty-three. The Minister wired from Peking that I'd have to resign if I did. I hadn't a bob except my salary and they transferred me to Canton to get me away.
