THE WONDERFUL WINDOW The old man in the Oriental looking robe was being moved on by the police, and it was this that attracted to him and the parcel under his arm the attention of Mr. Sladden, whose livelihood was earned in the emporium of Messrs. THE WONDERFUL WINDOW THE OLD MAN IN THE ORIENTAL LOOKING ROBE WAS BEING MOVED ON BY THE POLICE AND IT WAS THIS THAT ATTRACTED TO HIM AND THE PARCEL UNDER HIS ARM THE ATTENTION OF MISTER SLADDIN WHOSE LIVELIHOOD WAS EARNED IN THE EMPORIUM OF MEASURES
a saying arose, and both sects held this belief in common, that whoso toucheth Chu-bu shall die or whoso looketh upon Sheemish. That is how Chu-bu came into my possession when I travelled once beyond the hills of Ting. I found him in the fallen temple of Chu-bu with his hands and toes sticking up out of the rubbish, lying upon his back, and in that attitude just as I found him I keep him to this day on my mantlepiece, as he is less liable to be upset that way. Sheemish was broken, so I left him where he was. And there is something so helpless about Chu-bu with his fat hands stuck up in the air that sometimes I am moved out of compassion to bow down to him and pray, saying, "O Chu-bu, thou that made everything, help thy servant." Chu-bu cannot do much, though once I am sure that at a game of bridge he sent me the ace of trumps after I had not held a card worth having for the whole of the evening. And chance alone could have done as much as that for me. But I do not tell this to Chu-bu.
