'Why, she asked, 'do I give you my savings to spend and don't, after all, let Huan Erh have them and enjoy them? When I heard these reproaches, I felt both inclined to laugh, and also disposed to lose my temper; but I there and then skedaddled out of her quarters, and went over to our Madame Wang."
