Dame Li also knew very well Tai-yues disposition, and therefore remarked: Now, Miss Lin, dont you urge him on; you should after all, give him good advice, as he may, I think, listen to a good deal of what you say to him.
Why should I urge him on? rejoined Lin Tai-yue, with a sarcastic smile, nor will I trouble myself to give him advice. You, old lady, are far too scrupulous! Old lady Chia has also time after time given him wine, and if he now takes a cup or two more here, at his aunts, lady Hsueehs house, theres no harm that I can see. Is it perhaps, who knows, that aunt is a stranger in this establishment, and that we have in fact no right to come over here to see her?
Nurse Li was both vexed and amused by the words she had just heard. Really, she observed, every remark this girl Lin utters is sharper than a razor! I didnt say anything much!
Pao Chai too could not suppress a smile, and as she pinched Tai-yues cheek, she exclaimed, Oh the tongue of this frowning girl! one can neither resent what it says, nor yet listen to it with any gratification!
Dont be afraid! Mrs. Hsueeh went on to say, dont be afraid; my son, youve come to see me, and although Ive nothing good to give you, you mustnt, through fright, let the trifle youve taken lie heavy on your stomach, and thus make me uneasy; but just drink at your pleasure, and as much as you like, and let the blame fall on my shoulders. Whats more, you can stay to dinner with me, and then go home; or if you do get tipsy, you can sleep with me, thats all.
