Pao-yue with hurried step left the room and came and changed his clothes. But as on his arrival outside, the carriage had not as yet been got ready, he fell into such a state of excitement, that he went round and round all over the hall in quite an erratic manner. In a short while, after pressure had been brought to bear, the carriage arrived, and speedily mounting the vehicle, he drove up to the door of Chin Chungs house, followed by Li Kuei, Ming Yen and the other servants. Everything was quiet. Not a soul was about. Like a hive of bees they flocked into the house, to the astonishment of two distant aunts, and of several male cousins of Chin Chung, all of whom had no time to effect their retreat.
Chin Chung had, by this time, had two or three fainting fits, and had already long ago been changed his mat. As soon as Pao-yue realised the situation, he felt unable to repress himself from bursting forth aloud. Li Kuei promptly reasoned with him. You shouldnt go on in this way, he urged, you shouldnt. Its because Mr. Chin is so weak that lying flat on the stove-couch naturally made his bones feel uncomfortable; and thats why he has temporarily been removed down here to ease him a little. But if you, sir, go on in this way, will you not, instead of doing him any good, aggravate his illness?
At these words, Pao-yue accordingly restrained himself, and held his tongue; and drawing near, he gazed at Chin Chungs face, which was as white as wax, while with closed eyes, he gasped for breath, rolling about on his pillow.
