Story Four Hundred and Seventy-Three · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The Bird Messenger

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: in the paved front courtyard of a gentleman's house by day, a bearded old gentleman in a scholar's cap and wide-sleeved gown raises an arm toward a crow-like bird on the tiled roof ridge, while a steward and a young maid beside him look up uneasily, with a garden rock, bamboo, a potted pine and a large porcelain jar around them.
