I went originally under the name of Yuen Hsiang (Gum Sandarac), added Hui Hsiang, but Miss Hua it was who changed it.
You should really be called Hui Chi, (latent fragrance), that would be proper; and why such stuff as Hui Hsiang, (orchid fragrance)?
How many sisters have you got? he further went on to ask of her.
Four, replied Hui Hsiang.
Which of them are you? Pao-yue asked.
the fourth, answered Hui Hsiang.
By and by you must be called Ssu Erh, (fourth child), Pao-yue suggested, for theres no need for any such nonsense as Hui Hsiang (orchid fragrance) or Lan Chi (epidendrum perfume.) Which single girl deserves to be compared to all these flowers, without profaning pretty names and fine surnames!
As he uttered these words, he bade her give him some tea, which he drank; while Hsi Jen and She Yueeh, who were in the outer apartment, had been listening for a long time and laughing with compressed lips.
Pao-yue did not, on this day, so much as put his foot outside the door of his room, but sat all alone sad and dejected, simply taking up his books, in order to dispel his melancholy fit, or diverting himself with his writing materials; while he did not even avail himself of the services of any of the family servants, but simply bade Ssu Erh answer his calls.
