The fat lecher Pi, for instance, lusts after the beautiful Silver Vase, a pubescent virgin being carefully tended by Lady Li, a flower-garden proprietor (brothelkeeper). Cash-and-Carry, a young wastrel, volunteers to act as go-between, but what he goes between are Silver Vase's sheets. Lady Li, who has been giving...
