But looking at paragraph 3 again and in the light of your own suggestion at (120), as well as in the light of Hong Kong's evident inclination to go her own way, I wonder whether we should not sub- stitute stronger wording for "it would seem advisable". Perhaps we should say "you should keep out of sight altogether ..."?
