A fire-engine deafened me.
I passed by an undertaker’s. It was cold like a grave.
The sight stunned me.
30th—Is my nose high enough?
I bought a pair of “nose spectacles.”
Those with wires to circle the ears, which are Oriental (that is to say old-fashioned), would suit even a noseless Formosa Chinee.
But how many Japs could show themselves ready for nose spectacles?
The Optician asked if they were for myself.
He was a trifle uncertain about my nose, I suppose.
“No! For my friend,” I said.
