What flowers? exclaimed Pao-yue. Bring them here and let me see them.
As he uttered these words, he readily stretched out his hands and took them over, and upon opening the box and looking in, he discovered, in fact, two twigs of a novel and artistic kind of artificial flowers, of piled gauze, made in the palace.
Tai-yue merely cast a glance at them, as Pao-yue held them. Have these flowers, she inquired eagerly, been sent to me alone, or have all the other girls got some too?
Each one of the young ladies has the same, replied Mrs. Chou; and these two twigs are intended for you, miss.
Tai-yue forced a smile. Oh! I see, she observed. If all the others hadnt chosen, even these which remain over wouldnt have been given to me.
Chou Juis wife did not utter a word in reply.
Sister Chou, what took you over on the other side? asked Pao-yue.
I was told that our madame Wang was over there, explained Mrs. Chou, and as I went to give her a message, aunt Hsueeh seized the opportunity to ask me to bring over these flowers.
What was cousin Pao Chai doing at home? asked Pao-yue. How is it shes not even been over for these few days?
Shes not quite well, remarked Mrs. Chou.
When Pao-yue heard this news, Wholl go, he speedily ascertained of the waiting-maids, and inquire after her? Tell her that cousin Lin and I have sent round to ask how our aunt and cousin are getting on! ask her what shes ailing from and what medicines shes taking, and explain to her that I know I ought to have gone over myself, but that on my coming back from school a short while back, I again got a slight chill; and that Ill go in person another day.
