Lady Feng hastened to make a few hurried steps forward and to grasp Mrs. Chs hand in hers. My dear girl! she exclaimed; How is it that during the few days Ive not seen you, you have grown so thin?
Readily she then took a seat on the rug, on which Mrs. Chin was seated, while Pao-yue, after inquiring too about her health, sat in the chair on the opposite side.
Bring the tea in at once, called out Chia Jung, for aunt and uncle Secundus have not had any tea in the drawing room.
Mrs. Chin took lady Fengs hand in her own and forced a smile. This is all due to my lack of good fortune; for in such a family as this, my father and mother-in-law treat me just as if I were a daughter of their own flesh and blood! Besides, your nephew, (my husband,) may, it is true, my dear aunt, be young in years, but he is full of regard for me, as I have regard for him, and we have had so far no misunderstanding between us! In fact, among the senior generation, as well as that of the same age as myself, in the whole clan, putting you aside, aunt, about whom no mention need be made, there is not one who has not ever had anything but love for me, and not one who has not ever shown me anything but kindness! But since Ive fallen ill with this complaint, all my energy has even every bit of it been taken out of me, so that Ive been unable to show to my father and mother-in-law any mark of filial attention, yea so much as for one single day and to you, my dear aunt, with all this affection of yours for me, I have every wish to be dutiful to the utmost deGREe, but, in my present state, Im really not equal to it; my own idea is, that it isnt likely that I shall last through this year.
