Liza at last got rather vexed with him. LIZA AT LAST GOT RATHER VEXED WITH HIM
pend the afternoon together, and Liza, seeing a little embarrassment on their part, proposed that they should go for a walk together in the forest. Jim agreed at once, and with pleasure, but Tom was dreadfully disappointed. He hadn't the courage to say anything, but he glared at Blakeston. Jim smiled benignly at him, and Tom began to sulk. Then they began a funny walk through the woods. Jim tried to go on with Liza, and Liza was not at all disinclined to this, for she had come to the conclusion that Jim, notwithstanding his 'cheek', was not ''alf a bad sort'. But Tom kept walking alongside of them, and as Jim slightly quickened his pace so as to get Liza on in front, Tom quickened his, and Mrs. Blakeston, who didn't want to be left behind, had to break into a little trot to keep up with them. Jim tried also to get Liza all to himself in the conversation, and let Tom see that he was out in the cold, but Tom would break in with cross, sulky remarks, just to make the others uncomfortable. HAD NO PARTICULAR DESIRE TO SPEND THE AFTERNOON TOGETHER AND LIZA SEEING A LITTLE EMBARRASSMENT ON THEIR PART PROPOSED THAT THEY SHOULD GO FOR A WALK TOGETHER IN THE FOREST JIM AGREED AT ONCE AND WITH PLEASURE BUT TOM WAS DREADFULLY DISAPPOINTED HE HADN'T THE COURAGE TO SAY ANYTHING BUT HE GLARED AT BLAKESTON JIM SMILED BENIGNLY AT HIM AND TOM BEGAN TO SULK THEN THEY BEGAN A FUNNY WALK THROUGH THE WOODS JIM TRIED TO GO ON WITH LIZA AND LIZA WAS NOT AT ALL DISINCLINED TO THIS FOR SHE HAD COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT JIM NOTWITHSTANDING HIS CHEEK WAS NOT OFF A BAD SORT BUT TOM KEPT WALKING ALONGSIDE OF THEM AND AS JIM SLIGHTLY QUICKENED HIS PACE SO AS TO GET LIES ON IN FRONT TOM QUICKENED HIS AND MISSUS BLAKESTON WHO DIDN'T WANT TO BE LEFT BEHIND HAD TO BREAK INTO A LITTLE TROT TO KEEP UP WITH THEM JIM TRIED ALSO TO GET LIZARD ALL TO HIMSELF IN THE CONVERSATION AND LET TOM SEE THAT HE WAS OUT IN THE COLD BUT TOM WOULD BREAK IN WITH CROSS SULKY REMARKS JUST TO MAKE THE OTHERS UNCOMFORTABLE
