1	1874-1909	James, Henry. Works. 1874 Eugene Pickering. In : Atlantic monthly ; vol. 34, no 204-205 (Oct.-Nov. 1874). Chap. 1. It was as if we had stumbled upon an ancient cupboard in some dusky corner, and rummaged out a heap of childish playthings--tin soldiers and torn story-books, jack-knives and Chinese puzzles. This is what we remembered between us. 1875 A passionate pilgrim, and other tales. (Boston : J.R. Osgood, 1875). "A memory of the past! There comes back to me a china vase that used to stand on the parlour mantel-shelf when I was a boy, with a portrait of General Jackson painted on one side and a bunch of flowers on the other. 1875 Roderick Hudson. (Boston, Mass. ; New York, N.Y. : Houghton, Mifflin and Co., 1875). Chap. 1 It is still lotus-eating, only you sit down at table, and the lotuses are served up on rococo china. He advocated the creation of a public promenade along the sea, with arbors and little green tables for the consumption of beer, and a platform, surrounded by Chinese lanterns, for dancing. 1877 The American. (Boston, Mass. : Houghton, Mifflin, 1877). Chap. 20. "It looks," said Newman to himself--and I give the comparison for what it is worth--"like a Chinese penitentiary." 1878 The Europeans : a sketch. (London : Macmillan, 1878). Chap. 3. "Remember that I am very fastidious," said the Baroness. "Has he very good manners?" "He will have them with you. He is a man of the world; he has been to China." Madame Munster gave a little laugh. "A man of the Chinese world! He must be very interesting." 1879 Hawthorne. (New York, N.Y. : Harper & Bros., 1879). Chap. 1 Early years. Salem, at the beginning of the present century, played a great part in the Eastern trade; it was the residence of enterprising shipowners who despatched their vessels to Indian and Chinese seas. 1881 The portrait of a lady. (Boston ; New York, N.Y. : Houghton, Mifflin and Co., 1881 ; London : Macmillan, 1881). Chap. 14. For what do you take me, pray? Heaven help me, I'm not the Emperor of China! 1884 A little tour in France. (New York, N.Y. : Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1884). Chap. 15. The only thing in this particular Musee that I remember is a fine portrait of a woman, by Ingres, - very flat and Chinese, but with an interest of line and a great deal of style. 1885 Pandora. In : The author of Beltraffio, Pandora, Georgina's reasons, The path of duty, Four meetings. (Boston, Mass. : J.R. Osgood, 1885). = Stories revived. (London : Macmillan, 1885). Count Otto could joke a little on great occasions, and the present one was worthy of his humour. He maintained to his companion that the shallow painted mansion resembled a false house, a "wing" or structure of daubed canvas, on the stage; but she answered him so well with certain economical palaces she had seen in Germany, where, as she said, there was nothing but china stoves and stuffed birds, that he was obliged to allow the home of Washington to be after all really gemuthlich. 1886 The Bostonians. In : Century illustrated monthly magazine ; vol. 29, nos. 4-6 ; vol. 30, nos. 1-6 ; vol. 31, nos 1-4 (1885-1886). = (New York, N.Y. ; London : Macmillan, 1886). Chap. 27. "If you rise from this sofa I will tell Olive what I suspect. She will be perfectly capable of carrying Verena off to China--or anywhere out of your reach." Chap. 37. She had learned to breathe and move in a rarefied air, as she would have learned to speak Chinese if her success in life had depended upon it; but this dazzling trick, and all her artlessly artful facilities, were not a part of her essence, an expression of her innermost preferences. 1888 The lesson of the master. In : Universal review ; vol. 1, no 3-4 (1888). = The lesson of the master, The marriages, The pupil, Brooksmith, The solution, Sir Edmund Orme. (London ; New York, N.Y. : Macmillan, 1891). Chap. 1 It marched across from end to end and seemed - with its bright colours, its high panelled windows, its faded flowered chintzes, its quickly-recognised portraits and pictures, the blue-and-white china of its cabinets and the attenuated festoons and rosettes of its ceiling – a cheerful upholstered avenue into the other century. 1888 The reverberato. (London ; New York, N.Y. : Macmillan, 1888). Chap. 1. It was a plain clean round pattern face, marked for recognition among so many only perhaps by a small figure, the sprig on a china plate, that might have denoted deep obstinacy; and yet, with its settled smoothness, it was neither stupid nor hard. 1890 The tragic muse. (Boston, Mass. ; New York, N.Y. : Houghton, Mifflin and Co., 1890). Book 1, Chap. 2. Her view of the gentleman's companions was less operative, save for her soon making the reflexion that they were people whom in any country, from China to Peru, you would immediately have taken for natives. Chap. 4. "She's so intelligent that she could judge if she recited Chinese," Peter declared. 1892 The real thing. In : Black and white ; April 16 (1892). They liked to lay hands on my property, to break the sitting, and sometimes the china--I made them feel Bohemian. 1898 In the cage. (Chicago, Ill. ; New York, N.Y. : H.S. Stone, 1898). Chap. 14. He had announced at the earliest day--characterising the whole business, from that moment, as their "plans," under which name he handled it as a Syndicate handles a Chinese or other Loan--he had promptly declared that the question must be thoroughly studied, and he produced, on the whole subject, from day to day, an amount of information that excited her wonder and even, not a little, as she frankly let him know, her disdain. Chap. 20. The "anything, anything" she had uttered in the Park went to and fro between them and under the poked-out china that interposed. 1899 The awkward age : a novel. (New York, N.Y. ; London : Harper & Bros., 1899). Chap. 1. Suggestive of panelled rooms, of precious mahogany, of portraits of women dead, of coloured china glimmering through glass doors and delicate silver reflected on bared tables, the thing was one of those impressions of a particular period that it takes two centuries to produce. 1902 The wings of the dove. (New York, N.Y. : C. Scribner's Sons, 1902 ; Westminster : A. Constable, 1902). Chap. 2. She would have been meanwhile a wonderful lioness for a show, an extraordinary figure in a cage or anywhere; majestic, magnificent, high-coloured, all brilliant gloss, perpetual satin, twinkling bugles and flashing gems, with a lustre of agate eyes, a sheen of raven hair, a polish of complexion that was like that of well-kept china and that--as if the skin were too tight--told especially at curves and corners. 1904 The golden bowl. (New York, N.Y. : Charles Scribner's Sons, 1904). Vol. 1, Chap. 1. It mattered little that the girl had continued to demur--it was the mere play of her joy. "I think he could make you like him in Chinese." Vol. 1, Chap. 11. Treated on such occasions as at best a pair of dangling and merely nominal court-functionaries, picturesque hereditary triflers entitled to the petites entrees but quite external to the State, which began and ended with the Nursery, they could only retire, in quickened sociability, to what was left them of the Palace, there to digest their gilded insignificance and cultivate, in regard to the true Executive, such snuff-taking ironies as might belong to rococo chamberlains moving among china lap-dogs. 1909 Italian hours. (Boston, Mass. : H. Mifflin, 1909 ; London : W. Heinemann, 1909). Oman rides. In some places, where the huge brickwork is black with time and certain strange square towers look down at you with still blue eyes, the Roman sky peering through lidless loopholes, and there is nothing but white dust in the road and solitude in the air, I might take myself for a wandering Tartar touching on the confines of the Celestial Empire. The wall of China must have very much such a gaunt robustness. 1909 Julia Bride. (New York, N.Y. ; London : Harper, 1909). But I can't get hold of Mr. Connery--Mr. Connery has gone to China. Besides, if he were here," she had ruefully to confess, "he'd be no good—on the contrary.	Person: James, Henry (1)
