'The true point is, pursued Lavinia, 'that Bella has behaved in a most unsisterly way to me, and might have severely compromised me with George and with George's family, by making off and getting married in this very low and disreputable manner with some pew-opener or other, I suppose, for a bridesmaid when she ought to have confided in me, and ought to have said, "If, Lavvy, you consider it due to your engagement with George, that you should countenance the occasion by being present, then Lavvy, I beg you to BE present, keeping my secret from Ma and Pa."
Cold neck of mutton and a lettuce can ill compete with the luxuries of Mr Boffin's board. 'Pray don't talk like that, Ma dear, said Bella; 'Mr Boffin's board is nothing to me. But, here Miss Lavinia, who had been intently eyeing Bella's bonnet, struck in with 'Why, Bella! 'Yes, Lavvy, I know.
"She was in the room when he came in, but your uncle took him out at once." "She didn't talk to him? Did he hear her talking?" "No, my dear, I'm sure he didn't." "Are you sure he didn't see her?" Aunt Lavvy smiled. "He didn't look. I don't think he saw any of us very clearly." "How many times did he come?" "Three or four times, I believe." "Did he ask to see me?" "No.
He asked to see your Uncle Victor." "I didn't know he knew Uncle Victor." "Well," Aunt Lavvy said, "he knows him now." "Did he leave any message for me?" "No. None." "You don't like him, Aunt Lavvy." "No, Mary, I do not. And I don't know anybody who does." "I like him," Mary said. Aunt Lavvy looked as if she hadn't heard. "I oughtn't to have let you see Aunt Charlotte." Mary woke up suddenly.
In the wagonette she sat close beside Aunt Lavvy, with Aunt Lavvy's shawl over her eyes. She wondered how she knew that you were frightened when Mamma didn't. Mamma couldn't, because she was brave. She wasn't afraid of the funeral. When Roddy said, "She oughtn't to have taken us, she ought to have known it would frighten us," Mark was angry with him.
Please tell darling Pa. With love to Lavvy, Then, John Rokesmith put the queen's countenance on the letter when had Her Gracious Majesty looked so benign as on that blessed morning! and then Bella popped it into the post-office, and said merrily, 'Now, dearest Pa, you are safe, and will never be taken alive!
'If you like to bring your sister with you when you come to stay with us, said Mrs Boffin, 'of course we shall be glad. The better you please yourself, Miss Bella, the better you'll please us. 'Oh, my consent is of no consequence at all, I suppose? cried Miss Lavinia. 'Lavvy, said her sister, in a low voice, 'have the goodness to be seen and not heard.
"If you insist on knowing, Caroline, I went to Mr. Robson's church." "You went to Mr. to the Unitarian Chapel?" "To the Unitarian Chapel." "Emilius " You would have thought that Aunt Lavvy had hit Mamma and hurt her. Emilius took up his table napkin and wiped his moustache carefully. He was quite horribly calm. "You will oblige me by not going there again," he said.
"It was you who made Mamma cry, not Aunt Lavvy. It always frightens her when you shout at people. You know Aunt Lavvy's a perfect saint, besides being lots cleverer than anybody in this house, except Mark. You get her by herself when she's tired out with Aunt Charlotte. You insult her religion. You say the beastliest things you can think of "
She was sorry for you; but she was like Aunt Lavvy; she thought it was a good thing to be jilted; for then you were purified; your soul was set free; it went up, writhing and aspiring, in a white flame to God. "Mary, why are you always admiring yourself in the glass?" "I'm not admiring myself. I only wanted to see if I was better-looking than last time." "Why are you worrying about it?
