the gem in the cask a high price it seeks, The pin in the case to take wing it waits.
As luck would have it, Shih-yin was at the moment approaching, and upon hearing the lines, he said with a smile: My dear Yue-tsun, really your attainments are of no ordinary capacity.
Yue-tsun lost no time in smiling and replying. It would be presumption in my part to think so, he observed. I was simply at random humming a few verses composed by former writers, and what reason is there to laud me to such an excessive deGREe? To what, my dear Sir, do I owe the pleasure of your visit? he went on to inquire. Tonight, replied Shih-yin, is the mid-autumn feast, generally known as the full-moon festival; and as I could not help thinking that living, as you my worthy brother are, as a mere stranger in this Buddhist temple, you could not but experience the feeling of loneliness. I have, for the express purpose, prepared a small entertainment, and will be pleased if you will come to my mean abode to have a glass of wine. But I wonder whether you will entertain favourably my modest invitation? Yue-tsun, after listening to the proposal, put forward no refusal of any sort; but remarked complacently: Being the recipient of such marked attention, how can I presume to repel your generous consideration?
As he gave expression to these words, he walked off there and then, in company with Shih-yin, and came over once again into the court in front of the library. In a few minutes, tea was over.
