Chia Jui had in the first instance， frozen the whole night， and， in the next place， came in for a flogging. With a stomach， besides， gnawed by the pangs of hunger， he had to kneel in a place exposed to drafts reading the while literary compositions， so that the hardships he had to endure were of manifold kinds.

Chia Juis infamous intentions had at this junction undergone no change; but far from his thoughts being even then any idea that lady Feng was humbugging him， he seized， after the lapse of a couple of days， the first leisure moments to come again in search of that lady.

Lady Feng pretended to bear him a grudge for his breach of faith， and Chia Jui was so distressed that he tried by vows and oaths (to establish his innocence.) Lady Feng perceiving that he had， of his own accord， fallen into the meshes of the net laid for him， could not but devise another plot to give him a lesson and make him know what was right and mend his ways.

With this purpose， she gave him another assignation. Dont go over there， she said， to-night， but wait for me in the empty rooms giving on to a small passage at the back of these apartments of mine. But whatever you do， mind dont be reckless.

Are you in real earnest? Chia Jui inquired.

Why， who wants to play with you? replied lady Feng; if you dont believe what I say， well then dont come!
