“Oh?”

“Now take up that basket, and go on to the Pure Drop Inn, telling them to send a horse and carriage with a servant (仆人) here quickly, to carry me home. And when you’ve done that, on your way home, go past my house with the basket, and tell my wife to put away that washing, because she needn’t finish it, and wait till I come home, as I have news to tell her.”
