Tsang's answer was, "The principles of our Master's teaching are thesewhole-heartedness and kindly forbearance; these and nothing more.

" Referring to Tsang Wan, he asked, "What is to be said of this man's discernment?this man with his tortoise-house, with the pillar-heads and posts bedizened with scenes of hill and mere!" Tsz-chang put a question relative to the chief Minister of Tsu, Tsz-wan.

" Another saying of the Scholar Tsang: "I once had a friend who, though he possessed ability, would go questioning men of none, and, though surrounded by numbers, would go with his questions to isolated individuals; who also, whatever he might have, appeared as if he were without it, and, with all his substantial acquirements, made as though his mind were a mere blank; and when insulted would not retaliate;this was ever his way.

" "And with you, Tsang Sin?" This disciple was strumming on his harpsichord, but now the twanging ceased, he turned from the instrument, rose to his feet, and answered thus: "Something different from the choice of these three."

"Often," he said, "for Ki Tsang was then in the Yunnan provinces.

But one thing I can say, and that is that when he uttered the name of Ki Tsang, Faruskiar knitted his brows and his eyes flashed.
