They wouldn't let us go out into the woods as beaters, would they ?" "You'd make too much noise to be of any use." "Should I?
I thought the beaters had to shout at the birds.

"I wonder whether a certain gentleman at Guestwick will like his coming," said Lily.

"Lily, you let your tongue run too fast," said Mrs Dale.
"I didn't mean anything, Bell," said Lily.

"I beg your pardon." "It doesn't signify," said Bell.

"Only Lily says things without thinking." And then that conversation came to an end, and nothing more was said among them beyond what appertained to their toilet, and a few last words at parting.
