The Nightingale (17) [The Nightingale]

The Nightingale (17)

  Five years passed, and then a great sorrow came to the nation.
 
  The Chinese look upon their Emperor as everything, and now he was ill, and not likely to live it was said.

  Already a new Emperor had been chosen, and the people stood outside in the street and asked the First Lord how the old Emperor was.
  " P ! " was allhe said, and he shook his head.

  Gold and pale lay the Emperor in his splendid bed ; the whole Court believed him dead, and one after the other left him to pay their respects to the new Emperor.

  Everywhere in the halls and corridors cloth was laid down so that no footstep could be heard, and everything was still ー very, very still.
  And nothing came to break the silence.
