Read the passage from The Pillow Book."His Excellency, the Chancellor, wore a light violet Court cloak, laced trousers of light green material, and a scarlet under-robe. He faced towards us, leaning against one of the pillars between the main part of the hall and the veranda and fastening the cord round the neckband of his cloak in a loose knot. At the sight of his beautiful daughters he smiled with delight and chatted away in his usual bantering fashion.I glanced again at the Shigei Sha, who was looking extraordinarily pretty. But, when I turned back to Her Majesty and saw her tranquil expression, her charming features which had recently taken on a more adult cast, and her complexion which went so beautifully with her scarlet clothes, I realized that no one in the world could equal her.Which statement from the passage is a statement of fact?His Excellency, the Chancellor, wore a light violet Court cloak.He smiled with delight and chatted away.
