And hastily taking once more Tai-yues hand in her own: How old are you, cousin? she inquired; Have you been to school? What medicines are you taking? while you live here, you mustnt feel homesick; and if theres anything you would like to eat, or to play with, mind you come and tell me! or should the waiting maids or the matrons fail in their duties, dont forget also to report them to me.
Addressing at the same time the matrons, she went on to ask, Have Miss Lins luggage and effects been brought in? How many servants has she brought along with her? Go, as soon as you can, and sweep two lower rooms and ask them to go and rest.
As she spake, tea and refreshments had already been served, and Hsi-feng herself handed round the cups and offered the fruits.
Upon hearing the question further put by her maternal aunt Secunda, Whether the issue of the monthly allowances of money had been finished or not yet? Hsi-feng replied: The issue of the money has also been completed; but a few moments back, when I went along with several servants to the back upper-loft, in search of the satins, we looked for ever so long, but we saw nothing of the kind of satins alluded to by you, madame, yesterday; so may it not be that your memory misgives you?
Whether there be any or not, of that special kind, is of no consequence, observed madame Wang. You should take out, she therefore went on to add, any two pieces which first come under your hand, for this cousin of yours to make herself dresses with; and in the evening, if I dont forget, Ill send some one to fetch them.
