Ceispinus did not heed to whom he gave his Tyrian abolla (cloak used at suppers) when he changed his dress, and resumed his toga. Whoever has got it, we pray thee, restore it to its proper shoulders. It is not Crispinus, but his abolla requires this of thee; for it is not every one to whom a dress dyed with purple is suitable; that colour is excluseively appropriated to luxury. If thou art addicted to theft, and feelest a craving thirst for gain, take a toga, not an abolla; there will be less danger of detection.

She had gone to the Dalian Foreign Language Institute (she hadn't met Cherry Blossom there, unfortunately) but she had been raised in the central Fujian town of Sanming. That town had the reputation in China of being somewhat utopian. It had been developed by people from all over China, before the Cultural Revolution. Miss Wan claimed that everything that had been said about Sanming was true—no problems, no pollution, perfect integration, a model city.
"Any Tibetans in Sanming?"
"No," Miss Wan said. "They have to stay in Tibet and solve their own problems. But people in Sanming are very civilized. They are from all places. Like the United States!"
