If he doesn't give you any bacon, he's very mean.

You may tell him what I say.
"I am your affectionate cousin, "POLLY." I was obliged to hide this letter from Leo; but when he asked me if I had heard from Polly I could not lie to him, and he sent me to Coventry for withholding the letter.

I bore a day and a half of his silence and neglect; then I could endure it no longer, and showed him the letter.

He was less angry than I expected.

He coloured and laughed, and called me a little fool for writing such stuff to Polly, and said her answer was just like her.
