She is an orphan, without brother or sister, and with a guardian, whom, I think she said, she never saw but once.

He apprenticed her (after her father's death) to a dressmaker.

This Mr Bellingham got acquainted with her, and they used to meet on Sunday afternoons.

One day they were late, lingering on the road, when the dressmaker came up by accident.

She seems to have been very angry, and not unnaturally so.
