红楼梦Chapter25

We are a full company to-day， laughed Tai-yue， but who has issued the cards and invited us here?

the other day， interposed lady Feng， I sent servants with a present of two caddies of tea for you， Miss Lin; was it， after all， good?

I had just forgotten all about it， Tai-yue rejoined， many thanks for your kind attention!

I tasted it， observed Pao-yue. I did not think it anything good. But I dont know how others， whove had any of it， find it.

Its flavour， said Tai-yue， is good; the only thing is， it has no colour.

Its tribute tea from the Laos Kingdom， continued lady Feng. When I tried it， I didnt either find it anything very fine. Its not up to what we ordinarily drink.

To my taste， its all right， put in Tai-yue. But what your palates are like， I cant make out.

As you say its good， suggested Pao-yue， youre quite at liberty to take all I have for your use.

ve got a GREat deal more of it over there， lady Feng remarked.

ll tell a servant-girl to go and fetch it， Tai-yue replied.

No need， lady Feng went on. ll send it over with some one. I also have a favour to ask of you to-morrow， so I may as well tell the servant to bring it along at the same time.

When Lin Tai-yue heard these words， she put on a smile. You just mark this， she observed. ve had to-day a little tea from her place， and she at once begins making a tool of me!
