Father said he couldn't stand the constant persuading--I'm afraid the word he used was "nagging." I can't understand people behaving like that.

George says they may be Ambersons, but they're vulgar! I'm afraid I almost agree with him.

At least, I think they were inconsiderate.

But I don't see why I'm unburdening myself of all this to you, poor darling! We'll have forgotten all about it long before you come home for the holidays, and it should mean little or nothing to you, anyway.

Forget that I've been so foolish! Your father is waiting for me to take a walk with him--that's a splendid sign, because he hasn't felt he could walk much, at home, lately.
