her warm-weather clothes from her dresser and hung them out to air: silks and satins, woolens, velvets, and leathers competed for space in the yard, which reeked of mothballs. She treasured her fashionable clothes, the centerpiece of her youthful wealth. Over the winter she had put on a few pounds, but that only increased the appearance of voluptuousness. Even indoors she kept her chin and jowls buried in a fox muffler, like the slinky, gorgeous movie stars she read about.

Rays of afternoon sunlight poured down past the eaves; soft silks fluttered gracefully, like waves, calming her mind. It was so quiet she could hear the gentle snapping sound. She rocked back and forth humming a northern Jiangsu tune that was popular along the wharf. It had frivolous, naughty lyrics filled with sexy teases. She stopped to giggle. That's so silly, she muttered. She couldn't remember when she'd learned the song.
