Flying Kites For Luck In Ninth Month Legend
A fragment recounts a Chinese superstition tied to flying kites on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. It tells how missing the day brings misfortune, and recalls a legend of a dream warning, a kite flight, and a hillside escape remembered each year with millions of kites over China. The tale is quoted from the New York Tribune. The Unsociable Young Napoleon is described through a dinner anecdote on a voyage to Corsica. It notes a future emperor’s stern look and a remark about throwing him into the sea, with the colonel’s reply that the boy would prove influential. The narrator cites Comtesse de Boigue’s memoirs.
