"Yesterday I dreamed I was there by the peonies in the garden.Now sitting here alone,my spirits are low.I will take this chance,unbeknownst to my maid,to slip back to the garden,to the scene of my dream," mused Li-niang.She went to the garden and was glad to find the garden gate was open and no gardeners were there.Seeing the ground strewn with red petals,she sighed:"Ah, spring fires the blood this year more than ever before!"
