ve in fact already made every provision, rejoined Hsi-feng; knowing very well that my cousin would be arriving within these two days, I have had everything got ready for her. And when you, madame, go back, if you will pass an eye over everything, I shall be able to send them round.
Madame Wang gave a smile, nodded her head assentingly, but uttered not a word by way of reply.
the tea and fruit had by this time been cleared, and dowager lady Chia directed two old nurses to take Tai-yue to go and see her two maternal uncles; whereupon Chia Shes wife, madame Hsing, hastily stood up and with a smiling face suggested, ll take my niece over; for it will after all be considerably better if I go!
Quite so! answered dowager lady Chia, smiling; you can go home too, and there will be no need for you to come over again!
Madame Hsing expressed her assent, and forthwith led Tai-yue to take leave of madame Wang. the whole party escorted them as far as the door of the Entrance Hall, hung with creepers, where several youths had drawn a carriage, painted light blue, with a kingfisher-coloured hood.
Madame Hsing led Tai-yue by the hand and they got up into their seats. The whole company of matrons put the curtain down, and then bade the youths raise the carriage; who dragged it along, until they came to an open space, where they at length put the mules into harness.
