红楼梦Chapter24

My senior aunt， you said you had something to tell me， Pao-yue observed; whats it， I wonder?

What can there possibly be to tell you? madame Hsing laughed; it was simply to make you wait and have your repast with the young ladies and then go; but theres also a fine plaything that Ill give you to take back to amuse yourself with.

these two， the aunt and her nephew， were going on with their colloquy when， much to their surprise， it was time for dinner and the young ladies were all invited to come. The tables and chairs were put in their places， and the cups and plates were arranged in proper order; and， after the mother， her daughter and the cousins had finished their meal， Pao-yue bade good-bye to Chia She and returned home in company with all the young ladies; and when they had said good-night to dowager lady Chia， madame Wang and the others， they each went back into their rooms and retired to rest; where we shall leave them without any further comment and speak of Chia Yuens visit to the mansion. As soon as he saw Chia Lien， he inquired what business it was that had turned up， and Chia Lien consequently explained： The other day something did actually present itself， but as it happened that your aunt had again and again entreated me， I gave it to Chia Ch as she promised me that there would be by and by in the garden several other spots where flowers and trees would be planted; and that when this job did occur， she would， for a certainty， give it to you and finish!
