I believe I couldn't help being just a little if I had so many fine things and was made such a fuss over. It's disgusting, the way Miss Minchin shows her off when parents come." "'Dear Sara must come into the drawing room and talk to Mrs. Musgrave about India," mimicked Lavinia, in her most highly flavored imitation of Miss Minchin. "'Dear Sara must speak French to Lady Pitkin.
"I bear the same relationship to Mr. Carter that she does. We were much together as girls, and were both educated at the same expensive schools. I offended my relatives by marrying Mr. Forbush, whose fault was that he was poor, and chiefly, I think, through the efforts of Lavinia Pitkin I was cast out by the family.

"Do you think he'll leave him any money?" asked Alonzo, betraying interest. "I don't know what it may lead to, Lonny, but it don't look right. Such things have been known."
"Oh, you've heard about it already, have you?" asked Pitkin dully. "Heard whut?" And Gabe did not touch the brim of his hat. "We've got the gate been warned off: entries refused."
