She gazed at me for a moment with a queer expression wreathing her features, as she finally said with just the faintest shadow of a smile: ``We never talk about the early history of Her Majesty.'' I smiled in return and continued: ``I have been told that she was born in a small house, in a narrow street inside of the east gate of the Tartar city -- the gate blown up by the Japanese when they entered Peking in 1900.'' The princess nodded. ``I have also heard that her father's name was Chao, and that he was a small military official (she nodded again) who was afterwards beheaded for some neglect of duty.'' To this the visitor also nodded assent. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AFA178E0-3F17-44A1-9C76-D176542AFCEB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
