Goody Liu felt constrained to edge herself forward. Gentlemen, she ventured, may happiness betide you!
the whole company of servants scrutinised her for a time. Where do you come from? they at length inquired.
ve come to look up Mr. Chou, an attendant of my ladys, remarked goody Liu, as she forced a smile; which of you, gentlemen, shall I trouble to do me the favour of asking him to come out?
the servants, after hearing what she had to say, paid, the whole number of them, no heed to her; and it was after the lapse of a considerable time that they suggested: Go and wait at a distance, at the foot of that wall; and in a short while, the visitors, who are in their house, will be coming out.
Among the party of attendants was an old man, who interposed,
Dont baffle her object, he expostulated; why make a fool of her? and turning to goody Liu: This Mr. Chou, he said, is gone south: his house is at the back row; his wife is anyhow at home; so go round this way, until you reach the door, at the back street, where, if you will ask about her, you will be on the right track.
Goody Liu, having expressed her thanks, forthwith went, leading Pan Erh by the hand, round to the back door, where she saw several pedlars resting their burdens. There were also those who sold things to eat, and those who sold playthings and toys; and besides these, twenty or thirty boys bawled and shouted, making quite a noise.
