‘Mowri fend?’
‘The Lady of the Poor fends off nothing.”

Why the hell are we taking ‘The Dream of the Red Chamber?’ Light reading, if we get stuck on the subway?
No, in case we get stopped by some of Qing Song’s minions who can’t read Chinese.
Oh. Right. Hey, that’s not a bad thought. Though if we’re going to be throwing them away anyhow, why not take ‘The Investiture of the Gods’...
