红楼梦Chapter14

Pao-yue at these words readily drew near to lady Feng， and there and then applied for the permits. My dear sister， he added， do give them the permits to enable them to obtain the material and effect the repairs.

I feel quite sore from fatigue， ventured lady Feng， and how can I stand your rubbing against me? but compose your mind. they have this very day got the paper， and gone to paste it; and would they， for whatever they need， have still waited until they had been sent for? they are not such fools after all!

Pao-yue would not believe it， and lady Feng at once called Tsai Ming to look up the list， which she handed for Pao-yues inspection; but while they were arguing a servant came in to announce that Chao Erh， who had gone to Su Chow， had returned， and lady Feng all in a flurry directed that he should be asked to walk in. Chao Erh bent one knee and paid his obeisance.

Why have you come back? lady Feng readily inquired.

Mr. Secundus (Chia Lien)， he reported， sent me back to tell you that Mr. Lin (our dowager ladys) son-in-law， died on the third of the ninth moon; that Master Secundus is taking Miss Lin along with him to escort the coffin of Mr. Lin as far as Su Chow; and that they hope to be back some time about the end of the year. Master despatched me to come and announce the news， to bring his compliments， and to crave our old ladys instructions as well as to see how you are getting on in my ladys home. He also bade me take back to him a few long fur pelisses.
