None of your nurses, hurriedly interposed aunt Hsueeh, are yet come, so you had better wait a while.
Why should we wait for them? observed Pao-yue. We have the waiting-maids to escort us, and surely they should be enough.
Mrs. Hsueeh finding it difficult to set her mind at ease deputed two married women to accompany the two cousins; and after they had both expressed (to these women) their reGREt at having troubled them, they came straightway to dowager lady Chias suite of apartments.
Her venerable ladyship had not, as yet, had her evening repast. Hearing that they had been at Mrs. Hsueehs, she was extremely pleased; but noticing that Pao-yue had had some wine, she gave orders that he should be taken to his room, and put to bed, and not be allowed to come out again.
Do take good care of him, she therefore enjoined the servants, and when suddenly she bethought herself of Pao-yues attendants, How is it, she at once inquired of them all, that I dont see nurse Li here?
they did not venture to tell her the truth, that she had gone home, but simply explained that she had come in a few moments back, and that they thought she must have again gone out on some business or other.
Shes better off than your venerable ladyship, remarked Pao-yue, turning round and swaying from side to side. Why then ask after her? Were I rid of her, I believe I might live a little longer.
