G. I'll do what I can, if you will tell me what's amiss. Sus. Oh, everything's amiss everything! Who was that went out, Mattie this minute as we come in? Mat. Miss Lacordere. Sus. Her imperence! Well! I should die of shame if I was her. Mat. She's an angel, Susan. There's her basket. I told her to take it away, but she would leave it. Sus. Oh, my! Ain't this nice?
