m not, lady Feng went on to add, like those people, who afford help and render assistance with an eye to money; these three thousand taels will be exclusively devoted for the travelling expenses of those youths, who will be sent to deliver messages and for them to make a few cash for their trouble; but as for me I dont want even so much as a cash. In fact Im able at this very moment to produce as much as thirty thousand taels.
the old nun assented with alacrity, and said by way of reply, If that be so, my lady, do display your charitable bounty at once to-morrow and bring things to an end.
Just see, remarked lady Feng, how hard pressed I am; which place can do without me? but since Ive given you my word, I shall, needless to say, speedily bring the matter to a close.
A small trifle like this, hinted the old nun, would, if placed in the hands of any one else, flurry her to such an extent that she would be quite at a loss what to do; but in your hands, my lady, even if much more were superadded, it wouldnt require as much exertion as a wave of your hand. But the proverb well says: that those who are able have much to do; for madame Wang, seeing that your ladyship manages all concerns, whether large or small, properly, has still more shoved the burden of everything on your shoulders, my lady; but you should, its but right, also take good care of your precious health.
