The Mandarin's Fan

From the New York Times: Such a beautiful fan sticks of jade and enamel, beads of jade and amber hooped with gold depending from it. Most valuable feature of all from the point of view of the Mandarin Lo-Keong and of his enemy, Hop-Sing, hidden under the enamel was a record of the secret place where poor Lo had concealed the assorted lot of documents that showed his record as an ex-Boxer leader.
