红楼梦Chapter25

My child， said Madame Wang， youve again had too much to drink; your face is scalding hot， and if you still keep on rubbing and scraping it， why， youll by and bye stir up the fumes of wine! Dont you yet go and lie down quietly over there for a little!

Chiding him the while， she directed a servant to fetch a pillow. Pao-yue therefore lay himself down at the back of Madame Wang， and called Tsai Hsia to come and stroke him.

Pao-yue then began to bandy words with Tsai Hsia. But perceiving that Tsai Hsia was reserved， and， that instead of paying him any attention， she kept her eyes fixed upon Chia Huan， Pao-yue eagerly took her hand. My dear girl! he said; do also heed me a little; and as he gave utterance to this appeal， he kept her hand clasped in his.

Tsai Hsia， however， drew her hand away and would not let him hold it. If you go on in this way， she vehemently exclaimed， ll shout out at once.

these two were in the act of wrangling， when verily Chia Huan overheard what was going on. He had， in fact， all along hated Pao-yue; so when on this occasion， he espied him up to his larks with Tsai Hsia， he could much less than ever stifle feelings of resentment in his heart. After some reflection， therefore， an idea suggested itself to his mind， and pretending that it was by a slip of the hand， he shoved the candle， overflowing with tallow， into Pao-yues face.
