Excerpt from Out in China
"He is such a really good fellow," said Forbes, an Outport Consul, in Shanghai for a holiday, though nominally to consult the dentist.
It was that hour of the morning when men are apt to wax affectionate, but it was his being such a warm friend made James Forbes so much liked, far more than his cleverness. "One would not like to think of Lindsay having his life spoilt," he went on.
"But why should it be spoilt? You say the girl is young, pretty, with something distinctive about her."
