and I cannot tell if they are men or women." Two or three wheelbarrow men ran forward almost immediately, leaving the loads which they were taking to market and pressing down close to the edge of the river. By the time the chairs had arrived and the strangers could disembark, a really formidable crowd had collected and was in- creasing every moment; the news, too, was spreading through the city like wildfire and they felt that the sooner they could get to cover the THE CITY OF THE BLUE PAGODA 1...65 better. The people were not hostile, only vaguely curious, but they were far from compli- mentary in their comments. One thing puzzled the rabble very much: in spite of all the rtmiors and gossip that had reached them, no word had been said of a Chinese lady being of the party, so when they saw Hsie Yin, they were quite mystified as to her identity. The fact that a cultured woman of their own race was with the foreigners made a good impression and kept the throng from an unfriendly act. It never entered their minds that Hsie Yin was a woman doctor, although they readily picked out the foreign gentleman as a physician.
