He felt extremely unhappy as he wandered on, and there was a choky feeling in his throat as he thought of Liza: she was very unkind and ungrateful, and he wished he had never come to Chingford. She might so easily have come for a walk with him instead of going with that beast of a Blakeston; she wouldn't ever do anything for him, and he hated her  but all the same, he was a poor foolish thing in love, and he began to feel that perhaps he had been a little exacting and a little forward to take offence. HE FELT EXTREMELY UNHAPPY AS HE WANDERED ON AND THERE WAS A CHOKY FEELING IN HIS THROAT AS HE THOUGHT OF LIZA SHE WAS VERY UNKIND AND UNGRATEFUL AND HE WISHED HE HAD NEVER COME TO CHINGFORD SHE MIGHT SO EASILY HAVE COME FOR A WALK WITH HIM INSTEAD OF GOING WITH THAT BEAST OF A BLAKESTON SHE WOULDN'T EVER DO ANYTHING FOR HIM AND HE HATED HER BUT ALL THE SAME HE WAS A POOR FOOLISH THING IN LOVE AND HE BEGAN TO FEEL THAT PERHAPS HE HAD BEEN A LITTLE EXACTING AND A LITTLE FORWARD TO TAKE OFFENCE
 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. Liza at last got rather vexed with him. 'Strikes me you got aht of bed the wrong way this mornin',' she said to him. 'Yer didn't think thet when yer said you'd come aht with me.' He emphasized the 'me'. Liza shrugged her shoulders. 'You give me the 'ump,' she said. 'If yer wants ter mike a fool of yerself, you can go elsewhere an' do it.' 'I suppose yer want me ter go awy now,' he said angrily. 'I didn't say I did.' 'Arright, Liza, I won't stay where I'm not wanted.' And turning on his heel he marched off, striking through the underwood into the midst of the forest. ING 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 LIZA AT LAST GOT RATHER VEXED WITH HIM STRIKES ME YOU GOT TO HAVE BED THE WRONG WAY THIS MORNING SHE SAID TO HIM HE DIDN'T THINK THAT WHEN HE SAID HE'D COME OUT WITH ME HE EMPHASIZED THE ME LIZA SHRUGGED HER SHOULDERS YOU GIVE ME THE UMP SHE SAID IF HE WANTS TO MAKE A FOOL O YOURSELF YOU CAN GO ELSEWHERE AND DO IT I SUPPOSE YOU WANT ME TO GO AWAY NOW HE SAID ANGRILY I DIDN'T SAY I DID ALL RIGHT LIZA I WON'T STAY WHERE I'M NOT WANTED AND TURNING ON HIS HEEL HE MARCHED OFF STRIKING THROUGH THE UNDERWOOD INTO THE MIDST OF THE FOREST
