Miss Pao drew a rectangular package from her bag, wrapped up in Nanobar. 
She unwrapped it and drew out two objects of roughly the same size and shape: a 
book and a block of wood. She placed them side by side on the table. Then she 
ignored them, turning her attention to the menu. She continued to ignore them 
for several minutes more, as she and Chang and Judge Fang sipped tea, exchanged 
polite chatter, and began to eat their meals.
