Tai-yue simply went on drying her tears， and made no reply of any kind.

Pao-yue approached the bed， and sat on the edge of it. I know， he smiled， that youre not vexed with me. But had I not come， third parties would have been allowed to notice my absence， and it would have appeared to them as if we had had another quarrel. And had I to wait until they came to reconcile us， would we not by that time become perfect strangers? It would be better， supposing you wish to beat me or blow me up， that you should please yourself and do so now; but whatever you do， dont give me the cold shoulder!

Continuing， he proceeded to call her my dear cousin for several tens of times.

Tai-yue had resolved not to pay any more heed to Pao-yue. When she， however， now heard Pao-yue urge： dont let us allow others to know anything about our having had a quarrel， as it will look as if we had become thorough strangers， it once more became evident to her， from this single remark， that she was really dearer and nearer to him than any of the other girls， so she could not refrain from saying sobbingly： You neednt have come to chaff me! I couldnt presume henceforward to be on friendly terms with you， Master Secundus! You should treat me as if I were gone!

At these words， Pao-yue gave way to laughter. Where are you off to? he inquired.

m going back home， answered Tai-yue.
