"
Precisely
;
you
cannot
conceive
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Garth
,
cutting
her
words
as
neatly
as
possible
.
For
a
moment
Fred
looked
at
the
horizon
with
a
dismayed
anxiety
,
and
then
turning
with
a
quick
movement
said
almost
sharply
—
"
Do
you
mean
to
say
,
Mrs
.
Garth
,
that
Mr
.
Farebrother
is
in
love
with
Mary
?
"
"
And
if
it
were
so
,
Fred
,
I
think
you
are
the
last
person
who
ought
to
be
surprised
,
"
returned
Mrs
.
Garth
,
laying
her
knitting
down
beside
her
and
folding
her
arms
.
It
was
an
unwonted
sign
of
emotion
in
her
that
she
should
put
her
work
out
of
her
hands
.
In
fact
her
feelings
were
divided
between
the
satisfaction
of
giving
Fred
his
discipline
and
the
sense
of
having
gone
a
little
too
far
.
Fred
took
his
hat
and
stick
and
rose
quickly
.
"
Then
you
think
I
am
standing
in
his
way
,
and
in
Mary
’
s
too
?
"
he
said
,
in
a
tone
which
seemed
to
demand
an
answer
.
Mrs
.
Garth
could
not
speak
immediately
.
She
had
brought
herself
into
the
unpleasant
position
of
being
called
on
to
say
what
she
really
felt
,
yet
what
she
knew
there
were
strong
reasons
for
concealing
.
And
to
her
the
consciousness
of
having
exceeded
in
words
was
peculiarly
mortifying
.
Besides
,
Fred
had
given
out
unexpected
electricity
,
and
he
now
added
,
"
Mr
.
Garth
seemed
pleased
that
Mary
should
be
attached
to
me
.
He
could
not
have
known
anything
of
this
.
"
Mrs
.
Garth
felt
a
severe
twinge
at
this
mention
of
her
husband
,
the
fear
that
Caleb
might
think
her
in
the
wrong
not
being
easily
endurable
.
She
answered
,
wanting
to
check
unintended
consequences
—
"
I
spoke
from
inference
only
.
I
am
not
aware
that
Mary
knows
anything
of
the
matter
.
"
But
she
hesitated
to
beg
that
he
would
keep
entire
silence
on
a
subject
which
she
had
herself
unnecessarily
mentioned
,
not
being
used
to
stoop
in
that
way
;
and
while
she
was
hesitating
there
was
already
a
rush
of
unintended
consequences
under
the
apple
-
tree
where
the
tea
-
things
stood
.
Ben
,
bouncing
across
the
grass
with
Brownie
at
his
heels
,
and
seeing
the
kitten
dragging
the
knitting
by
a
lengthening
line
of
wool
,
shouted
and
clapped
his
hands
;
Brownie
barked
,
the
kitten
,
desperate
,
jumped
on
the
tea
-
table
and
upset
the
milk
,
then
jumped
down
again
and
swept
half
the
cherries
with
it
;
and
Ben
,
snatching
up
the
half
-
knitted
sock
-
top
,
fitted
it
over
the
kitten
’
s
head
as
a
new
source
of
madness
,
while
Letty
arriving
cried
out
to
her
mother
against
this
cruelty
—
it
was
a
history
as
full
of
sensation
as
"
This
is
the
house
that
Jack
built
.
"
Mrs
.
Garth
was
obliged
to
interfere
,
the
other
young
ones
came
up
and
the
tete
-
a
-
tete
with
Fred
was
ended
.
He
got
away
as
soon
as
he
could
,
and
Mrs
.
Garth
could
only
imply
some
retractation
of
her
severity
by
saying
"
God
bless
you
"
when
she
shook
hands
with
him
.
