"Now, Maggie, eat; do eat," said Merry.
"There's no trouble afoot that I can mend?" asked he, in a minute or two. "Oh, no! It's really nothing nothing at all," said she. "It's only that Mr. Corbet went away without saying good-bye to me, that's all." And she looked as if she should have liked to cry again. "That was not manners," said Dixon, decisively.

Dixon clung to her arm. "Noa, noa! Coom in here, Missie coom in here! Dixon! where are yo'? Dixon!" She raised her voice. A chair was pushed back in the kitchen, on the other side of the passage.
