Excerpt from Sue Chuc

With a long sigh, Sue at last brought her body back to equilibrium and safety and was turning her attention to the first of the many duties laid out for her, when a thought came to her, a thought that in its awful boldness seemed surely sent only of the devil, the particular devil sup posed to be lying in wait for the faltering steps of small slave girls, and she glanced hastily to wards the niche where burned an incense stick before a closed shrine.

Then, as the thought persisted and with it came flashes of inspiration showing how easy, oh, how very easy it would be to turn it into a reality, her knees trembled and her hand instinctively sought support for the weak body and found it in clutch ing at a pile of clothing that hung upon a rack close at hand.

Her eyes followed the direction of her hand and rested upon a pale apple green coat with ap plique of scrolls and wreaths of blossoms; upon trousers of amber; on head-dress of embroidered velvet one of the many suits tried on Luck-do before one that quite suited her had been selected.
