	Chou was joined in the next show by his concubine, Lotus Blossom (Paddick) who is, in the words of her master, common as muck. A drawing of the two by William Hewison in Took and Feldman's 1974 book ''Round the Horne'' shows a diminutive Chou alongside a large, looming and graceless Lotus Blossom bulging out of her [[cheongsam]]. Her attempts to entertain Special Agent Horne with her songs and dances cause him more distress than Chou's threats of death.{{sfn\|Took\|Feldman\|1974\|p=11}}{{sfn\|Took\|1998\|p=42}}		Chou was joined in the next show by his concubine, Lotus Blossom (Paddick) who is, in the words of her master, common as muck.
