"Last fall you allowed Clarke to pay you a good deal of attention and apparently you were on good terms when he went away.
Now that he has returned you won't even speak to him.

You let this fellow Miller run after you.

In my estimation Miller is not to be compared to Clarke, and judging from the warm greetings I saw Clarke receive this morning, there are a number of folk who agree with me.
Not that I am praising Clarke.

I simply say this because to Bessie, to Jack, to everyone, your act is incomprehensible.

People are calling you a flirt and saying that they would prefer some country manners." "I have not allowed Mr.Miller to run after me, as you are pleased to term it," retorted Betty with indignation.
