When Dr. X made his way down half an hour later, he was nonetheless 
delighted and surprised to see the moderately famous and widely respected Judge 
Fang sitting all by his lonesome staring out at the pond, its schools of fish 
flickering lambently. When he approached the table to tender his respects, 
Judge Fang invited him to take a seat, and after several minutes of sensitive 
negotiations over whether this would or would not be an unforgivable intrusion 
on the magistrate's privacy, Dr. X finally, gratefully, reluctantly, 
respectfully took a seat.
