But she insisted that lady Feng and her companions should go and have their repast, so the young ladies eventually adjourned once more into the garden. But, reader, you do not know the sequel, so peruse the circumstances given in detail in the next chapter. The Princess of Heng Wu dispels, with sweet words, some insane suspicions.
Lady Feng then advanced and, propping up her old senior, she went on to explain to her that a young Taoist priest, whose duties were to snuff the candles, had not previously retired out of the compound, and that he was now endeavouring to recklessly force his way out."
I'm now off on my way into the garden." "Excuse me, my dear aunt," added Mrs. Ch'in, "that I can't go with you; but when you have nothing to do, I entreat you do come over and see me! and you and I can sit and have a long chat." After lady Feng had heard these words, her eyes unwillingly got quite red again.
Anyhow, my resentment isn't yet spent; and do you come to-day to try and irritate me? You aren't fit to even pick up shoes for P'ing Erh! You two should therefore change your respective places!" These taunts created merriment among the whole party. "Oh!" hastily exclaimed lady Feng, laughingly, "I know everything!
Lady Feng speedily raised her hand and gave him such a slap on the face that she made the young fellow reel over and perform a somersault. "You boorish young bastard!" she shouted, "where are you running to?" The young Taoist did not even give a thought to picking up the scissors, but crawling up on to his feet again, he tried to scamper outside.
"Pray, aunt," entreated Chia Jung with a smile, "do show me some compassion." "Mind your skin!" lady Feng warned him, "if you do chip or spoil it in the least." She then bade P'ing Erh take the keys of the door of the upstairs room and send for several trustworthy persons to carry it away. Chia Jung was so elated that his eyebrows dilated and his eyes smiled.
Madame Wang and Madame Hsing occupied places at the high table below; while round several tables outside sat the posse of young ladies. "Do let that girl Feng have the seat of honour," old lady Chia shortly told Mrs. Yu and her contemporaries, "and mind be careful in doing the honours for me, for she is subjected to endless trouble from one year's end to another!" "Very well," said Mrs. Yu.
Then making their exit out of the garden gate, they entered dowager lady Chia's suite of rooms. "I said that it was superfluous for any one to trouble," lady Feng smiled, "as they were sure of themselves to become reconciled; but you, dear ancestor, so little believed it that you insisted upon my going to act the part of mediator.
"It involves, however, a good deal of trouble to concoct; and here you deliberately go and fancy this very thing." "Go and get it ready!" cried dowager lady Chia several successive times. "Venerable ancestor," urged lady Feng with a smile, "don't you bother yourself about it! Let me try and remember who can have put the moulds away!"
In great anxiety and expectation I am sending you this telegram. Dated July 3. To Vice-President Feng, Tu Chuns and Governors of the Provinces, Provincial Assemblies, Inspector General Lu: I presume that the two telegrams dated 1st and one dated 3rd inst. have safely reached your place.
