+Old hands. The smell of rain--the smell of Ch'an. Quiet words in
+rough Cantonese. "I am not to be your master. Your master has to be
+stronger than you are--has to tell you you are a fool and make you
+know it. And make you feel content in being a fool. How could I do
+that for you? I'm old. You are too strong for me; you are full of
+chi." The old man has paused then, huddled against the wind while
+clouds thickened above them.
+
+"I will tell you this, Long," he continued, "Before you find yourself
+you will lose your chi. Also you will leave behind you all pride of
+body, pride of mind. You will be reduced. Like me." The old man
+closed his eyes, and rain began to beat against his gray, crew-cut
+hair. He pulled his coat closer. Suddenly his eyes snapped open and
+he looked Long in the face.
+
+"You must leave China. Go across the ocean. There you will meet your
+master." He set down his teacup with a palsied hand. His voice rose,
+grew fierce.
+
+"I tell you this, most honored and impressive visitor. You are a
+fool, yes, but you will find the very thing you seek. You will find
+truth!"
