NOTES AND QUERIES

poorer relatives next door. When he killed a chicken he would not even send the scraps to his relatives, but threw them to his dogs. He paraded his wealth before the other villagers with his silk clothes etc. **Thus when misfortune struck, the villagers refused to help, refusing his request to let outsiders participate in the auction, and getting together to bid low prices for his land. Wai H.L.'s father bought some. Wai H.L. remembers as a small boy (c. 1936) this Chan in old age in rags begging from door to door in the village to the jeers of the villagers, Wai H.L.'s father relieved him but called Wai H.L. to see, and lectured him on how pride and greed had destroyed this villager, while proper and charitable behaviour would not have left him thus. The impression was obviously strong.
