红楼梦Chapter19

In this covered bowl， she continued to inquire， is cream， and why not give it to me to eat? and having concluded these words， she took it up and there and then began eating it.

Be quick， and leave it alone! a servant-girl expostulated， that， he said， was kept in order to be given to Hsi Jen; and on his return， when he again gets into a huff， you， old lady， must， on your own motion， confess to having eaten it， and not involve us in any way as to have to bear his resentment.

Nurse Li， at these words， felt both angry and ashamed. I cant believe， she forthwith remarked， that he has become so bad at heart! Not to speak of the milk Ive had， I have， in fact every right to even something more expensive than this; for is it likely that he holds Hsi Jen dearer than myself? It cant forsooth be that he doesnt bear in mind how that Ive brought him up to be a big man， and how that he has eaten my blood transformed into milk and grown up to this age! and will be because Im now having a bowl of milk of his be angry on that score! I shall， yes， eat it， and well see what hell do! I dont know what you people think of Hsi Jen， but she was a lowbred girl， whom Ive with my own hands raised up! and what fine object indeed was she!

As she spoke， she flew into a temper， and taking the cream she drank the whole of it.

they dont know how to speak properly! another servant-girl interposed sarcastically， and its no wonder that you， old lady， should get angry! Pao-yue still sends you， venerable dame， presents as a proof of his gratitude， and is it possible that he will feel displeased for such a thing like this?
