Goody Liu readily caught hold of one of them. d like to ask you just a word, my young friend, she observed; theres a Mrs. Chou here; is she at home?
Which Mrs. Chou? inquired the boy; we here have three Mrs. Chous; and there are also two young married ladies of the name of Chou. What are the duties of the one you want, I wonder ?
Shes a waiting-woman of my lady, replied goody Liu.
Its easy to get at her, added the boy; just come along with me.
Leading the way for goody Liu into the backyard, they reached the wall of a court, when he pointed and said, This is her house.Mother Chou! he went on to shout with alacrity; theres an old lady who wants to see you.
Chou Juis wife was at home, and with all haste she came out to GREet her visitor. Who is it? she asked.
Goody Liu advanced up to her. How are you, she inquired, Mrs. Chou?
Mrs. Chou looked at her for some time before she at length smiled and replied, Old goody Liu, are you well? How many years is it since weve seen each other; tell me, for I forget just now; but please come in and sit.
Youre a lady of rank, answered goody Liu smiling, as she walked along, and do forget many things. How could you remember such as ourselves?
With these words still in her mouth, they had entered the house, whereupon Mrs. Chou ordered a hired waiting-maid to pour the tea. While they were having their tea she remarked, How Pan Erh has managed to grow! and then went on to make inquiries on the subject of various matters, which had occurred after their separation.
