Li Kuei signified his obedience with all promptitude， and perceiving that Chia Cheng had nothing more to say， he retired out of the room.

During this while， Pao-yue had been standing all alone outside in the court， waiting quietly with suppressed voice， and when they came out he at once walked away in their company.

Li Kuei and his companions observed as they shook their clothes， Did you， worthy brother， hear what he said that he would first of all flay our skins off! Peoples servants acquire some respectability from the master whom they serve， but we poor fellows fruitlessly wait upon you， and are beaten and blown up in the bargain. It would be well if we were， from henceforward， to be treated with a certain amount of regard.

Pao-yue smiled， Dear Brother， he added， dont feel aggrieved; Ill invite you to come round to-morrow!

My young ancestor， replied Li Kuei， who presumes to look forward to an invitation? all I entreat you is to listen to one or two words I have to say， thats all.

As they talked they came over once more to dowager lady Chias on this side.

Chin Chung had already arrived， and the old lady was first having a chat with him. Forthwith the two of them exchanged salutations， and took leave of her ladyship; but Pao-yue， suddenly remembering that he had not said good-bye to Tai-yue， promptly betook himself again to Tai-yues quarters to do so.
