'Not that my life has been lonely, for I could have sometimes wished it lonelier, instead of having Ma going on like the Tragic Muse with a face-ache in majestic corners, and Lavvy being spiteful though of course I am very fond of them both. I wish you could make a friend of me, Lizzie. Do you think you could?
She thought: "That was why Mamma and Papa were frightened." "You won't put them into Mamma's head, will you, Aunt Lavvy?" Mamma said, "Get on with your dinner. Papa's only teasing." Aunt Lavvy's face flushed slowly, and she held her mouth tight, as if she were trying not to cry. Papa was teasing Aunt Lavvy. "How do you like that Ilford house, Charlotte?" Mamma asked suddenly.
Aunt Bella would come and stay with Mamma, then Aunt Lavvy, then Mrs. Draper, so that she would not be left alone. Stitch stitch. She wondered: Supposing they weren't coming? Could she have left her mother alone, or would she have given up going and stayed? No. She couldn't have given it up. She had never wanted anything in her life as she wanted to go to Agaye with the Sutcliffes. With Mr.

Miss Lavvy replied with solemnity, 'No, dearest George, I am but too well aware that I am merely human.

"Emilius," she said, "what am I to say to Lavinia?" "You don't say anything," Papa said. "Mary can talk to Lavinia." Mary jumped up and down with excitement. She knew how it would be. In another minute Aunt Charlotte would come in, dressed in her black lace shawl and crinoline, and Aunt Lavvy would bring her Opinions. And something, something that you didn't know, would happen.

I wouldn't have come here I know what mother is but I couldn't think what to do." "But good lord the school mercy on us child, they haven't turned you out, have they?" "No, but they will if I go back. I dursn't do that.
'Unfortunate Lavvy! cried Mrs Wilfer, in a tone of commiseration. 'She always comes for it. My poor child! But Lavvy, with the suddenness of her former desertion, now bounced over to the other enemy: very sharply remarking, 'Don't patronize ME, Ma, because I can take care of myself.
You could see Aunt Charlotte's face at the dining-room window looking out over the top of the brown wire blind. She had her hat on, as if she had expected to be taken too.
