Tim has invited me to go live in China with him, but he's not going to be there until January. I don't really want to live in China, but it is very cheap there and there are English-teaching jobs aplenty. Not that I want to teach English. I don't know...
If however the vagaries of chance leave me washed-up in China at 29, I trust that soon I will be approached by a mysterious stranger in a seedy opium den who will give me five thousand dollars American with a promise of five thousand more and a steamer ticket to New York if I deliver a small parcel across town for him. The next time I see him, he will be dead, and I will be the prime suspect; I will team up with a French chanteuse dreaming of the big time who is beginning to wonder if her big break is ever going to come in the nightclub/whorehouse she sings at nightly, in order to outwit the police, track down the spies, and clear my name.
