"Mr. Ren,"
:43:04
see you Friday.
:43:10
Who's she? A friend?
:43:12
In a way.
:43:17
Where is it now? Page...
:43:19
eigth-eight
:43:22
here's what I write:
:43:24
"As night fell, the firelight
by the river flickered"

:43:28
"on the grinning old man's
betel-stained teeth""

:43:33
my question is: Would a
Yangtze river-dweller

:43:36
...be chewing betel in 1885?
:43:39
What's betel?
:43:40
Pepper and tobacco mixed with lime.
:43:44
Leng-yip?
:43:45
It's possible.
:43:47
"It is? Good, so"betel"can stay."
:43:50
"Great. If it's published,
I'll owe you a lot."

:43:55
I'm happy to help.
:43:57
I didn't take the easy way out...
:44:00
did you find a title?
:44:02
How's this? I thought of it yesterday:
:44:06
Rice of the ricefields.
:44:09
"Because of"rice"and"ricefields"."
:44:13
It's enigmatic.
:44:18
You have a certain charm.
:44:20
It's not written all over you.
:44:23
"Deep down, you have that
Portuguese mystique."

:44:27
May I say something?
:44:30
You sell yourself short.
You should try...

:44:33
try slicking your hair back.
:44:37
"Or else, grow it longer."
:44:41
Are you listening?
:44:45
Who is that girl?
:44:47
My therapist.
