It shall not be dark. Do not the fairies of the sun weave a white world out of the threads of midnight? I will pray to them. We must be merry, my lily So Siu.
So Siu
And why not?
Wong Fe
I shall dance to-night before Yu Tai Shun. (Tripping.) Is it not good to have feet? My honorable and glorious mamma weeps when I dance, but it is because she was born too soon and they crippled her beloved feet.
So Siu
How glad I am that the old world is gone when only the painted flower-girls could do the happy things!
Wong Fe
And it was my own lord, Yu Tai Shun, who made the earth new again!
