But if you, young ladies, requisition the services of the nurses, these men won't have the arrogance to make any nonsensical remarks." "This accounts for the unhappy state my heart is in," T'an Ch'un observed.
Get away," she then cried; whereupon Chia Huan obediently followed Feng Erh, and taking the money he went all by himself to play with Ying Ch'un and the rest; where we shall leave him without another word. But to return to Pao-yue. He was just amusing himself and laughing with Pao-ch'ai, when at an unexpected moment, he heard some one announce that Miss Shih had come.
That if there be any, they should be taken out, but that in the event of their being none, some one should be commissioned to go and purchase a supply of them." "You may, it's possible, not be up to any of these things," T'an Ch'un replied, "but we don't expect you to do anything!
Neither should you feel any ill-will against this young lady of yours. Had she even at heart every good intention to lend you a hand, how could she put it into words?" "This worthy senior dame," T'an Ch'un impatiently interposed, "has also grown quite dense! Whom could I drag into favour? Why, in what family, do the young ladies give a lift to slave-girls?
Tai-yue perused the list for a while. She then smiled and gave T'an Ch'un a tug. "Just see," she whispered, "we want to paint a picture, and she goes on indenting for a number of water jars and boxes! But, I presume, she's got so muddled, that she inserts a list of articles needed for her trousseau."
I do not wish to enter into a controversy on this subject, but I should like to quote the following from a speech delivered by Tseh Ch'un Hsüan, when he was leaving his post as Governor of Szech'wan: "The officials of China are gradually acquiring a knowledge of the great principles of the religions of Europe and America.

"It was only yesterday," Hsi Ch'un observed with a smile, "that our dear ancestor said that she was ever so much better than the whole lot of us!" "She's certainly splendid!" P'ing Erh ventured.
After glancing over the list, Li Wan and T'an Ch'un suggested that a first-class tip should be given to the messengers who brought them, after which, they went on to direct a servant to convey the tidings to dowager lady Chia. Old lady Chia gave orders to call Li Wan, T'an Ch'un, Pao-ch'ai and the other girls.
T'an Ch'un and the others were likewise well aware of their object, but they could not, when they saw with what willingness they accepted the charge insist, with any propriety, upon their writing verses, and they felt obliged to say yes. "Your proposals," she consequently said, "may be right enough; but in my views they are ridiculous.
"Are you speaking the truth?" T'an Ch'un and Tai-yue eagerly inquired. "If I'm telling a lie," Pao-yue laughed, "I'm like that cockatoo on that frame!" "You verily do foolish things!" Tai-yue and T'an Ch'un exclaimed with one voice, at these words.
