Although Beisitian had never met Mrs. Maynard before, based on the description, she had a rough idea of the situation.
Nevertheless, Beisitian still planned to take a look. Maynard said he happened to be taking his wife out for a walk and planned to bring her over for Beisitian to see.
It was too late, so Maynard and Beisitian agreed to meet the next morning, and then they, together with the foreigner with the big nose, went back home.
After they left, Ma Tianlai also took Beisitian back to the small courtyard.
"Doctor Bei, how did you get to know this noble foreigner?" Ma Tianlai asked curiously.
Beisitian smiled, "By chance."
It truly was by chance; she often went for walks at Shichahai because she felt that places near water have better air. The reason it was coincidental is that Beisitian found the scene at the time interesting and stopped, which was why she remembered the elderly foreigner.
