] "As though being made to completely set aside bashfulness
i
by Cupid who instantly arose with quickly drawn bow and
came to her succour, the moment he (i.e.T膩raka) caught her
hand; as if introduced in the art of maturity in speech by
the deep new-born love, in the manner of an instructor
(who instructs) with one of the eyebrows beautifully raised;
she, on her part, although naturally inexperienced, smiled
a little like a mature woman, and spoke these words
'Young man : when (once) you have caught my hand, how can
I ..... go from this house to another one ? Now, this abode
of yours has become a resort for me." Having said so, she
lowered her face out of bashfulness and began slowly to
scretch the paved floor with the tip of the thumb of her
left foot."
