Lady Feng, at this juncture moved onward, and after turning round a chain of hillocks, she caught sight of two or three matrons coming along with all speed. As soon as they espied lady Feng they put on a smile. Our mistress, they said, perceiving that your ladyship was not forthcoming, has been in a GREat state of anxiety, and bade your servants come again to request you to come over.
Is your mistress, observed lady Feng, so like a quick-footed demon?
While lady Feng advanced leisurely, she inquired, How many plays have been recited? to which question one of the matrons replied, They have gone through eight or nine. But while engaged in conversation, they had already reached the back door of the Tower of Celestial Fragrance, where she caught sight of Pao-yue playing with a company of waiting-maids and pages. Brother Pao, lady Feng exclaimed, dont be up to too much mischief! The ladies are all sitting upstairs, interposed one of the maids. Please, my lady, this is the way up.
At these words lady Feng slackened her pace, raised her dress, and walked up the stairs, where Mrs. Yu was already at the top of the landing waiting for her.
You two, remarked Mrs. Yu, smiling, are so friendly, that having met you couldnt possibly tear yourself away to come. You had better to-morrow move over there and take up your quarters with her and have done; but sit down and let me, first of all, present you a glass of wine.
