Lady Feng speedily drew near mesdames Hsing and Wang, and begged permission to take a seat; while Mrs. Yu brought the programme, and pressed lady Feng to mark some plays.
the senior ladies occupy the seats of honour, remonstrated lady Feng, and how can I presume to choose?
We, and our relative by marriage, have selected several plays, explained mesdames Hsing and Wang, and its for you now to choose some good ones for us to listen to.
Standing up, lady Feng signified her obedience; and taking over the programme, and perusing it from top to bottom, she marked off one entitled, the Return of the Spirit, and another called Thrumming and Singing; after which she handed back the programme, observing, When they have done with the Ennoblement of two Officers, which they are singing just at present, it will be time enough to sing these two.
Of course it will, retorted madame Wang, but they should get it over as soon as they can, so as to allow your elder Brother and your Sister-in-law to have rest; besides, their hearts are not at ease.
You senior ladies dont come often, expostulated Mrs. Yu, and you and I will derive more enjoyment were we to stay a little longer; its as yet early in the day!
Lady Feng stood up and looked downstairs. Where have all the gentlemen gone to? she inquired.
the gentlemen have just gone over to the Pavilion of Plenteous Effulgence, replied a matron, who stood by; they have taken along with them ten musicians and gone in there to drink their wine.
