Edmund, you have heard me mention Charles Anderson.
The circumstance was precisely as this lady has represented it.

When Anderson first introduced me to his family, about two years ago, his sister was not _out_, and I could not get her to speak to me.

I sat there an hour one morning waiting for Anderson, with only her and a little girl or two in the room, the governess being sick or run away, and the mother in and out every moment with letters of business, and I could hardly get a word or a look from the young lady--nothing like a civil answer--she screwed up her mouth, and turned from me with such an air! I did not see her again for a twelvemonth.

She was then _out_.

I met her at Mrs.Holford's, and did not recollect her.
