Five years later her husband, speaking of her, said: There are no more American words for her learning. And everyone who knew Mrs. Spring Fragrance agreed with Mr. Spring Fragrance. Mr. Spring Fragrance, whose business name was Sing Yook, was a young curio merchant. Though conservatively Chinese in many respects, he was at the same time what is called by the Westerners, Americanized. Mrs. Spring Fragrance was even more Americanized. Next door to the Spring Fragrances lived the Chin Yuens. Mrs. Chin Yuen was much older than Mrs. Spring Fragrance; but she had a daughter of eighteen with whom Mrs. Spring Fragrance was on terms of great friendship. The daughter was a pretty girl whose Chinese name was Mai Gwi Far (a rose) and whose American name was Laura. Nearly everybody called her Laura, even her parents and Chinese friends. Laura had a sweetheart, a youth named Kai Tzu. Kai Tzu, who was American-born, and as ruddy and stalwart as any young Westerner, was noted amongst baseball players as one of the finest pitchers on the Coast. He could also sing, Drink to me only with thine eyes, to Lauras piano accompaniment. Now the only person who knew that Kai Tzu loved Laura and that Laura loved Kai Tzu, was Mrs. Spring Fragrance. The reason for this was that, although the Chin Yuen parents lived in a house furnished in American style, and wore American clothes, yet they religiously observed many Chinese customs, and their ideals of life were the ideals of their Chinese forefathers. Therefore, they had betrothed their daughter, Laura, at the age of fifteen, to the eldest son of the Chinese Government school-teacher in San Francisco. The time for the consummation of the betrothal was approaching. Laura was with Mrs. Spring Fragrance and Mrs. Spring Fragrance was trying to cheer her. I had such a pretty walk today, said she. I crossed the banks above the beach and came back by the long road. In the green grass the daffodils were blowing, in the cottage gardens the currant bushes were flowering, and in the air was the perfume of the wallflower. I wished, Laura, that you were with me. Laura burst into tears. That is the walk, she sobbed, Kai Tzu and I so love; but never, ah, never, can we take it together again.</p>...3465218The Chinese Boy and Girl And Other Stories122135https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-chinese-boy-and-girl-9781613103517/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3895795/fa533114-b943-4966-8213-1d19232da91c.jpg?v=638801950899730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259781613103517_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9781613103517_<p>The Library of Alexandria is an independent small business publishing house.
