Make haste and we will go across the courtyard to Ku Nai-nai's room for breakfast. Then An Ching awoke Little Yi, who was very much amused to see Nelly putting on her Chinese dress.

'You will make Hung Li give up An Ching and take her with us, father, won't you? asked Nelly. 'I'll see what I can do, her father promised, 'but I am afraid it cannot be managed.
