It was nothing complicated. The question was simply right up her alley.
In a voice that was crisp, sweet, and smiling, she quickly answered, "Lillian burying the flowers appears in Chapter 27 of *Dream of the Red Chamber*, titled 'In The Verdant Hall, Consort Young Chases Butterflies; At the Tomb of Flowers, Willow Weeps for a Fading Bloom'…"
"Wow…" Mindy Joyce exclaimed, clapping in amazement. "That's exactly right, Miss Lockwood! It seems you've not only read *Dream of the Red Chamber*, but you know it well…"
"Well, it's more accurate to say that's the only chapter I've read… It's mainly because the scene of Lillian burying the flowers is so famous that I specifically bought *Dream of the Red Chamber* just to read it…"
What was this, if not luck?
This was it.
