Then Lavinia told the story of her adventures, hesitatingly at first and afterwards with more confidence seeing that Hannah sympathised and did not chide or ridicule. "An' do 'ee mean to tell me you're going to Twitenham to-morrow?" Lavinia nodded. "What, over a worthless young man who gets drunk at the first chance he has?" Lavinia fired up.
