What a lucky coincidence! interposed dowager lady Chia; some of these pills are being compounded here, and Ill simply tell them to have an extra supply made; thats all.
Hardly had she finished these words, when a sound of laughter was heard from the back courtyard. Here I am too late! the voice said, and not in time to receive the distant visitor!
Every one of all these people, reflected Tai-yue, holds her peace and suppresses the very breath of her mouth; and who, I wonder, is this coming in this reckless and rude manner?
While, as yet, preoccupied with these thoughts, she caught sight of a crowd of married women and waiting-maids enter from the back room, pressing round a regular beauty.
the attire of this person bore no similarity to that of the young ladies. In all her splendour and lustre, she looked like a fairy or a goddess. In her coiffure, she had a band of gold filiGREe work, representing the eight precious things, inlaid with pearls; and wore pins, at the head of each of which were five phoenixes in a rampant position, with pendants of pearls. On her neck, she had a reddish gold necklet, like coiled dragons, with a fringe of tassels. On her person, she wore a tight-sleeved jacket, of dark red flowered satin, covered with hundreds of butterflies, embroidered in gold, interspersed with flowers. Over all, she had a variegated stiff-silk pelisse, lined with slate-blue ermine; while her nether garments consisted of a jupe of kingfisher-colour foreign crepe, brocaded with flowers.
