While she spoke， she perceived both Chia Huan and Chia Lan， one of whom was a young uncle and the other his nephew， also advance and present their compliments， and madame Hsing bade the two of them sit down on the chairs. But when Chia Huan noticed that Pao-yue sat on the same rug with madame Hsing， and that her ladyship was further caressing and petting him in every possible manner， he soon felt so very unhappy at heart， that， after sitting for a short time， he forthwith made a sign to Chia Lan that he would like to go; and as Chia Lan could not but humour him， they both got up together to take their leave. But when Pao-yue perceived them rise， he too felt a wish to go back along with them， but madame Hsing remarked smilingly， You had better sit a while as Ive something more to tell you， so that Pao-yue had no alternative but to stay. When you get back， madame Hsing added， addressing the other two， present， each one of you， my regards to your respective mothers. The young ladies， your cousins， are all here making such a row that my head is dazed， so that I wont to-day keep you to have your repast here. To which Chia Huan and Chia Lan assented and quickly walked out.

If it be really the case that all my cousins have come over， Pao-yue ventured with a smirk， how is it that I dont see them?

After sitting here for a while， madame Hsing explained， they all went at the back; but in what rooms they have gone， I dont know.
