Ping Erh at once rose to her feet; but lady Feng had already entered the room; and she went on to bid Ping Erh be quick and open a box and find a pattern for madame Wang. Ping Erh expressed her obedience with alacrity; but while in search of it, lady Feng caught sight of Chia Lien; and suddenly remembering something, she hastened to ask Ping Erh about it.
the other day, she observed, some things were taken out, and have you brought them all in or not?
I have! Ping Erh assented.
Is there anything short or not? lady Feng inquired.
ve carefully looked at them, Ping Erh added, and havent found even one single thing short.
Is there anything in excess? lady Feng went on to ascertain.
Ping Erh laughed. Its enough, she rejoined, that theres nothing short; and how could there really turn out to be anything over and above?
That this half month, lady Feng continued still smiling, things have gone on immaculately it would be hard to vouch; for some intimate friend there may have been, who possibly has left something behind, in the shape of a ring, handkerchief or other such object, theres no saying for certain!
While these words were being spoken, Chia Liens face turned perfectly sallow, and, as he stood behind lady Feng, he was intent upon gazing at Ping Erh, making signs to her (that he was going) to cut her throat as a chicken is killed, (threatening her not to utter a sound) and entreating her to screen him; but Ping Erh pretended not to notice him, and consequently observed smiling: How is it that my ideas should coincide with those of yours, my lady; and as I suspected that there may have been something of the kind, I carefully searched all over, but I didnt find even so much as the slightest thing wrong; and if you dont believe me, my lady, you can search for your own self.
