Tomorrow I am going out in the morning as well as in the afternoon." "I am not sure that I can allow it," answered Dr.Craven.

"I am afraid it would not be wise." "It would not be wise to try to stop me," said Colin quite seriously.
"I am going." Even Mary had found out that one of Colin's chief peculiarities was that he did not know in the least what a rude little brute he was with his way of ordering people about.

He had lived on a sort of desert island all his life and as he had been the king of it he had made his own manners and had had no one to compare himself with.

Mary had indeed been rather like him herself and since she had been at Misselthwaite had gradually discovered that her own manners had not been of the kind which is usual or popular.

Having made this discovery she naturally thought it of enough interest to communicate to Colin.
So she sat and looked at him curiously for a few minutes after Dr.
Craven had gone.
