Her heart beat violently against her chest, and in her agitation she fumbled with the corner of her apron. 'Well, what can I do, Tom dear?' 'Why, come with me, of course. Oh. Liza, do say yes.' HER HEART BEAT VIOLENTLY AGAINST HER CHEST AND IN HER AGITATION SHE FUMBLED WITH THE CORNER OF HER APRON WELL WHAT CAN I DO TOM DEAR WHY COME WITH ME OF COURSE OH LIZA DO SAY YES
acted foolishly: it didn't do anyone any good that she refused to go out with Tom, and no one thought it anything specially fine that she should renounce her pleasure. Sally merely thought her a fool. Tom was standing by her side, silent, and looking disappointed and rather unhappy. Jim said to her, in a low voice: 'I am sorry you're not comin'!' It was too much. She did want to go so badly, and she really couldn't resist any longer. If Tom would only ask her once more, and if she could only change her mind reasonably and decently, she would accept; but he stood silent, and she had to speak herself. It was very undignified. 'Yer know, Tom.' she said, 'I don't want ter spoil your day.' 'Well, I don't think I shall go alone; it 'ud be so precious slow.' Supposing he didn't ask her again! What should she do? She looked up at the clock on the front of the pub, and noticed that it only wanted five minutes to the half-hour. How terrible it would be if the brake started and he didn't ask her!
