Finally, the slave told her quietly that his master was afflicted with a complaint which made him impotent. He then left the house. On hearing this the lady withdrew into her room and wept, and sadly bewailed her miserable fate. The women servants in the house ran to her, and asked the cause of her tears and complaining. She replied impatiently that God desired to chastise her youthful follies, and she repeated what the slave had told her. On hearing this, each began to express her ideas: some said it were better their master did not return, but stopped in China; others said he ought to be ashamed of himself to come home in that condition, having a young wife at home; others asked of what use were riches, when one was unable to enjoy them; others expressed other opinions. All were up in arms for their mistress. She took to her bed and shut herself up in her room, and countermanded all her former orders. She instructed her women that, should the husband arrive, they were to say to him that their mistress was unwell \[178\]. From joy the whole household was turned to mourning. In the afternoon the husband came ashore, and reaching his house, found that no one came out to greet him; all was silence. - [Previous: 265.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.6.1) - [Next: 265.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.6.3) - [Up: 265.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.6.2) · Pramāṇa
