Chia Yuen， upon hearing these words， suggested after a short pause; If that be so， theres nothing for me to do than to wait; but， uncle， you too mustnt make any allusion beforehand in the presence of aunt to my having come to-day to make any inquiries; for there will really be ample time to speak to her when the job turns up!

Why should I allude to it? Chia Lien rejoined. Have I forsooth got all this leisure to talk of irrelevant matters! But to-morrow， besides， Ive got to go as far as Hsing Yi for a turn， and its absolutely necessary that I should hurriedly come back the very same day; so off with you now and go and wait; and the day after to-morrow， after the watch has been set， come and ask for news; but mind at any earlier hour， I shant have any leisure! With these words， he hastily went at the back to change his clothes. And from the time Chia Yun put his foot out of the door of the Jung Kuo mansion， he was， the whole way homeward， plunged in deep thought; but having bethought himself of some expedient， he straightway wended his steps towards the house of his maternal uncle， Pu Shih-jen. This Pu Shih-jen， it must be explained， kept， at the present date， a shop for the sale of spices. He had just returned home from his shop， and as soon as he noticed Chia Yun， he inquired of him what business brought him there.

theres something， Chia Yun replied， in which I would like to crave your assistance， uncle; Im in need of some baroos camphor and musk， so please， uncle， give me on credit four ounces of each kind， and on the festival of the eighth moon， Ill bring you the amount in full.
