'Esther!' cried a vexed voice, and the precise, right minded aunt emerged through a row of raspberry bushes; 'whatever are you thinking about, delayin' the gentleman in this fashion?' ESTHER CRIED A VEXED VOICE AND THE PRECISE RIGHT MINDED AUNT EMERGED THROUGH A ROW OF RASPBERRY BUSHES WHATEVER ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT DELAYING THE GENTLEMAN IN THIS FASHION
arked apologetically; 'I b'lieve she'd never let me say a word to enny one if she could help it.' 'So you got home all right last night?' Willoughby inquired; 'what did your aunt say to you?' 'Oh, she arst me where I'd been, and I tolder a lotter lies.' Then, with a woman's intuition, perceiving that this speech jarred, Esther made haste to add, 'She's so dreadful hard on me. I dursn't tell her I'd been with a gentleman or she'd never have let me out alone again.' 'And at present I suppose you'll be found somewhere about that same stile every evening?' said Willoughby foolishly, for he really did not much care whether he met her again or not. Now he was actually in her company, he was surprised at himself for having given her a whole morning's thought; yet the eagerness of her answer flattered him, too. 'Tonight I can't come, worse luck! It's Thursday, and the shops here close of a Thursday at five. I'll havter keep aunt company. But tomorrer? I can be there tomorrer. You'll come, say?
