The Dai-kvo should have insisted that Choti wait until he had a binding poem for something useful.

Choti put him the question of my habitation, and he instantly offered me either a room in his own house or a small, native building on the opposite side of the road and nearer the beach.

Choti had many canvases completed, some six feet long, and he also did excellent silver-point heads of the villagers.

Choti, a painter, whose pictures you see around here, lives with the school-teacher up the road, and he might find you a place.
