"Doubtless there are many others equally enticing," suggested Shen Yi helpfully. "Alas," admitted Chang Tao with conscious humiliation; "of all those wherein I retain an adequate grasp of the solution, the complication eludes me at the moment, and thus in a like but converse manner with the others."
Pao, our master Secundus, are there waiting for you." "What's up again?" Pao-ch'ai inquired. "You and I will know what it is when we get there," Tai-yue explained. So saying, she came, with Pao-ch'ai, into the Tao Hsiang village. Here they, in fact, discovered every one assembled. As soon as Li Wan caught sight of the two cousins, she smiled.
Recognizing that the situation into which he had been drawn possessed no other outlet, Chang Tao followed Fuh-sang on her backward path, and with her passed unsuspected into the dragon's cave. Early as was Pe-lung's return on the ensuing morning, Chang Tao stood on a rocky eminence to greet him, and the outline of his face, though not altogether free of doubt, was by no means hopeless.
I was better prepared to meet it now, should it come, and I at once took steps to be warned as far in advance as possible.
