Indeed, so correct an estimate of Hsueeh P'an's natural disposition did Pao-ch'ai ever have, that from an early moment she entertained within herself some faint suspicion that it must have been Hsueeh P'an, who had instigated some person or other to come and lodge a complaint against Pao-yue.
Among the gauzes used in the present day, in the palace above, there are none so supple and rich, light and closely-woven as this!" "Not to speak of that girl Feng not having seen it," Mrs. Hsueeh laughed, "why, even I have never so much as heard anything of it." While the conversation proceeded in this strain, lady Feng soon directed a servant to fetch a roll.
"It's only through scrapes," he cried, "that he'll get all right!" In the evening, after the party broke up, he came to inquire after him. But Hsueeh P'an, who was lying all alone in his bedroom, nursing himself, refused to see him, on the plea of indisposition.

But barely were these words out of their mouths, than they realised that Feng Tzu-ying had already stepped in, talking and laughing as he approached. The company speedily rose from table and offered him a seat. "That's right!" smiled Feng Tzu-ying. "You don't go out of doors, but remain at home and go in for high fun!"

"What's the book?" Tai-yue inquired. Pao-yue at this question was so taken aback that he had no time to conceal it. "It's," he replied hastily, "the Chung Yung and the Ta Hsueeh!" "Are you going again to play the fool with me? Be quick and give it to me to see; and this will be ever so much better a way!"
