Excerpt from My Lord Bag-O'-Rice Real ones, but much more beautiful than real ones; for they were of water-green porcelain with a shim mer of gold; and the chopsticks were of beautiful petrified wood like black ivory. As for the wine in the cups, it baked like water; but, as it tasted all right, what did its looks signify?
