When Chia Chen heard these words, he smiled. Our dowager lady, he replied, is, I argued, so fond of amusement that, if she doesnt come to-day, there must, for a certainty, be some valid reason; and thats exactly what happens to be the case.
the other day I heard your eldest sister explain, interposed madame Wang, that Chia Jungs wife was anything but well; but whats after all the matter with her?
She has, observed Mrs. Yu, contracted this illness verily in a strange manner! Last moon at the time of the mid-autumn festival, she was still well enough to be able to enjoy herself, during half the night, in company with our dowager lady and madame Wang. On her return, she continued in good health, until after the twentieth, when she began to feel more and more languid every day, and loth, likewise, to eat anything; and this has been going on for well-nigh half a month and more; she hasnt besides been anything like her old self for two months.
May she not, remarked madame Hsing, taking up the thread of the conversation, be ailing for some happy event?
But while she was uttering these words, some one from outside announced: Our senior master, second master and all the gentlemen of the family have come, and are standing in the Reception Hall! Whereupon Chia Chen and Chia Lien quitted the apartment with hurried step; and during this while, Mrs. Yu reiterated how that some time ago a doctor had also expressed the opinion that she was ailing for a happy event, but that the previous day, had come a doctor, recommended by Feng Tzu-yinga doctor, who had from his youth up made medicine his study, and was very proficient in the treatment of diseases,who asserted, after he had seen her, that it was no felicitous ailment, but that it was some grave complaint. It was only yesterday, (she explained,) that he wrote his prescription; and all she has had is but one dose, and already to-day the giddiness in the head is considerably better; as regards the other symptoms they have as yet shown no marked improvement.
