When she had finished speaking, she handed it over to them, and after they had passed it round for inspection, she again fastened it properly on Pao-yues neck, and also bade her brother go and hire a small carriage, or engage a small chair, and escort Pao-yue back home.
If I see him back, Hua Tzu-fang remarked, there would be no harm, were he even to ride his horse!
It isnt because of harm, Hsi Jen replied; but because he may come across some one from the house.
Hua Tzu-fang promptly went and bespoke a small chair; and when it came to the door, the whole party could not very well detain him, and they of course had to see Pao-yue out of the house; while Hsi Jen, on the other hand, snatched a few fruits and gave them to Ming Yen; and as she at the same time pressed in his hand several cash to buy crackers with to let off, she enjoined him not to tell any one as he himself would likewise incur blame.
As she uttered these words, she straightway escorted Pao-yue as far as outside the door, from whence having seen him mount into the sedan chair, she dropped the curtain; whereupon Ming Yen and her brother, the two of them, led the horses and followed behind in his wake. Upon reaching the street where the Ning mansion was situated, Ming Yen told the chair to halt, and said to Hua Tzu-fang, Its advisable that I should again go, with Mr. Secundus, into the Eastern mansion, to show ourselves before we can safely betake ourselves home; for if we dont, people will suspect!
