Dear cousin, Tai-yue speedily implored with a smirk, I wont venture to do it again.

Though you may wish me to go, I cant, Pao-yue smiled, so let us now lie down with all propriety and have a chat, laying himself down again, as he spoke, while Tai-yue likewise reclined, and covered her face with her handkerchief. Pao-yue in a rambling way gave vent to a lot of nonsense, which Tai-yue did not heed, and Pao-yue went on to inquire: How old she was when she came to the capital? what sights and antiquities she saw on the journey? what relics and curiosities there were at Yang Chou? what were the local customs and the habits of the people?
Tai-yue made no reply; and Pao-yue fearing lest she should go to sleep, and get ill, readily set to work to beguile her to keep awake. Ai yah! he exclaimed, at Yang Chou, where your official residence is, has occurred a remarkable affair; have you heard about it?
Tai-yue perceiving that he spoke in earnest, that his words were correct and his face serious, imagined that what he referred to was a true story, and she therefore inquired what it was?
