“Pollifax on the China Station Mrs. Pollifax descended last of all from the minibus, trying not to remember that she’d flown halfway around the world for this moment. She found that her heart was beating much too quickly, and she forced herself to close her eyes and remind herself that que será será, and that, after all, a thousand years from now—Following these incantations she opened her eyes and looked around her. They were parked in a dusty narrow alley, surrounded by earthen walls. Off to h...er left she saw the high, lacquer-tiled roofs of what had to be the Drum Tower. Between this and the bus lay a maze of mud-and-straw walls, interrupted here and there by alleys leading into a mysterious interior. There was no barbershop; in fact, there were no shops to be seen at all, there were only walls.
No panic please, she told herself, and smiled at a small roundfaced child who grinned back at her. She called to Mr. Li, “I’m going to take some pictures of children, I’ll catch up with you in a minute.”MoreLess Read More Read Less
