"Oh, oh! Eli, is that so? Make haste; tell me!"
"He has been there again!"
"Oh, nonsense!"
"Yes, indeed; both father and mother pretended they did not see it, but I went up in the garret and hid."
"More, more! Did he follow you there?"
"I think father told him where I was; he is always so provoking."
"And so he came? Sit down, sit down here beside me. Well, so he came?"
"Yes; but he did not say much, for he was so bashful."
"Every word! Do you hear? every word!"
