The Small House at Allington

CHAPTER V
8/20

When I came home here three months ago--and I wish I never had;"-- she paused here a moment, waiting for a word of tenderness; but as the word of tenderness did not come, she went on--"but when I did come home, I didn't think there was a man in all London could make me care for him,--that I didn't.

And now you're going away, without so much as hardly saying a word to me." And then she brought out her handkerchief.
"What am I to say, when you keep on scolding me all the time ?" "Scolding you!--And me too! No, Johnny, I ain't scolding you, and don't mean to.

If it's to be all over between us, say the word, and I'll take myself away out of the house before you come back again.
I've had no secrets from you.

I can go back to my business in Manchester, though it is beneath my birth, and not what I've been used to.

If L.D.is more to you than I am, I won't stand in your way.
