Szu-Zhan demanded two rooms - one on the side-wall for the six lads, and another de luxe apartment at the top of the yard, away from the street - those are the better, larger rooms, and cost three hundred cash, or eighteenpence.

They couldn't wait to be rid of me, though; I'd been looking forward to a few days loafing and being lionised, and several restorative romps with my Russian man-eater at the hairdresser's - I hadn't had a woman since my last bout with Szu-Zhan (God, what an age ago that seemed) and I didn't want to forget how it was done.
