"You didn't expect to find her in hysterics, did you ?" "Agatha," pleaded Mrs.Wylie, "don't be headstrong and foolish." "Oh, she won't; I know she won't," said Henrietta coaxingly.

"Will you, dear Agatha ?" "You may do as you like, as far as I am concerned," said Mrs.Jansenius.
"But I hope you have more sense than to throw away your education for nothing." "Your aunt is quite right," said Mrs.Wylie.

"And your Uncle John is very angry with you.

He will never speak to you again if you quarrel with Miss Wilson." "He is not angry," said Henrietta, "but he is so anxious that you should get on well." "He will naturally be disappointed if you persist in making a fool of yourself," said Mrs.Jansenius.
"All Miss Wilson wants is an apology for the dreadful things you wrote in her book," said Mrs.Wylie.

"You'll apologize, dear, won't you ?" "Of course she will," said Henrietta.
"I think you had better," said Mrs.Jansenius.
"Perhaps I will," said Agatha.
"That's my own darling," said Mrs.Wylie, catching her hand.
"And perhaps, again, I won't." "You will, dear," urged Mrs.Wylie, trying to draw Agatha, who passively resisted, closer to her.
