...painting a portrait is suddenly disturbed to find, in the palm of his hand, a surprising deformity: two human lips which engage him in a fragmentary conversation. The young man succeeds in transferring these lips to a statue of a young woman, who advises him to walk through a mirror. Having done so, the young man finds himself in the Hotel des Folies Dramatiques where, peeking through keyholes, he witnesses a horrid scene between an old lady and a child whom she is teaching to fly.

...translation is a simpler and better job of writing than Authoress Buck's other books. It is as literal, says she, as possible; tries to mirror faithfully the vernacular of the original; omits nothing. Readers will be glad to know, however, that Translator Buck has simplified proper names throughout. She carefully checked her translation word for original word with Chinese Scholar M. H. Lung; when it was finished went over it again with "another Chinese friend...
