Ah Cum lived at No.

6 Chiu Ping le, Chiu Yam Street.

He was a Canton guide, highly educated, having been graduated from Yale University.

If he took a fancy to you, he invited you to the house for tea, bitter and yellow and served in little cups without handles.

If you knew anything about Canton ware, you were, as like as not, sorely tempted to stuff a teacup into your pocket.
He was tall, slender, and suave.
