Yun then gave him the letter and the bundle, and he went outside the
main gateway and disappeared.
Before dark he returned with the answer. The letter read: "She died
at such an hour to-day and we were in straits as to what to do, when
your letter came with the supplies, just as though we had seen each
other. Wonderful it is!" The man who brought the answer immediately
went out and disappeared. The house of mourning is situated over ten
days' journey from Seoul, but he returned ere sunset, in the space
of two or three hours.
Im Bang.
