So now, if you _were_ there, you won't be cross, and if you were _not_, and don't understand what I am saying, it isn't worth bothering about.

In any case, you had no right to--I mean, be cross.

It is I who should be cross with you for poking about in a London square so late and not coming forward to say how do you do and be introduced to the knight.

That is all I have to say about the business, so don't write and ask me any questions.
"There is no news here--there never is--except that I haven't been into that church since you left, and don't mean to, which makes your father look at me as sourly as though he had eaten a whole hatful of crab-apples.

He hates me, you know, and I rather like him for showing it, as it saves me the trouble of trying to keep up appearances.
