The spot was Peking between the wars and the language was Chinese. Mrs. Ingle found it deceptively easy at first. It was only when she came to realise the subtleties and that the same Chinese word can mean the number ten, a flag, a lion, and several other things—just depending on the way you say it-that she knew she would never come near mastering the language.
