You know, I s'pose, that Mr.Tuxbury took me for your aunt Esther.

You heard him call me Mis' Maxwell ?" Lois nodded; her dilated eyes never wavered from her mother's face.
"I s'pose you heard what he was sayin' to me when you come in.

Lois, I didn't tell him I was your aunt Esther.

The minute I come in, he took me for her, an' Mis' Henry Maxwell come into his office, an' she did, and so did Mr.Tuxbury's sister.

I wa'n't goin' to tell them I wa'n't her." The impulse of flight in Lois' watchful eyes became so strong that it seemed almost to communicate to her muscles.
