"I just now simply spoke in jest about those cups in order to
induce them to laugh," old goody Liu at these words, mused within
herself, "but, who would have thought that she actually has some of
the kind. I've often been to the large households of village gentry
on a visit, and even been to banquets there and seen both gold cups
and silver cups; but never have I beheld any wooden ones about! Ah,
of course! They must, I expect, be the wooden bowls used by the
young children. Their object must be to inveigle me to have a
couple of bowlfuls more than is good for me! But I don't mind it.
This wine is, verily, like honey, so if I drink a little more, it
won't do me any harm."
