红楼梦Chapter6

Dear Mrs. Chou， lady Feng immediately observed， do pull her up， and dont let her prostrate herself! Im yet young in years and dont know her much; whats more， Ive no idea whats the deGREe of the relationship between us， and I darent speak directly to her.

This is the old lady about whom I spoke a short while back， speedily explained Mrs. Chou.

Lady Feng nodded her head assentingly.

By this time old goody Liu had taken a seat on the edge of the stove-couch. As for Pan Erh， he had gone further， and taken refuge behind her back; and though she tried， by every means， to coax him to come forward and make a bow， he would not， for the life of him， consent.

Relatives though we be， remarked lady Feng， as she smiled， we havent seen much of each other， so that our relations have been quite distant. But those who know how matters stand will assert that you all despise us， and wont often come to look us up; while those mean people， who dont know the truth， will imagine that we have no eyes to look at any one.

Old goody Liu promptly invoked Buddha. We are at home in GREat straits， she pleaded， and thats why it wasnt easy for us to manage to get away and come! Even supposing we had come as far as this， had we not given your ladyship a slap on the mouth， those gentlemen would also， in point of fact， have looked down upon us as a mean lot.
