'How could she sit by and listen to all that Papa and Mrs. Hazleby were saying?' said Helen.
'How could she bear the glance of Papa's eye?' said Elizabeth; 'did you watch it? I thought I never saw it look so stern, and yet that contemptible creature sat under it as contentedly as possible. Oh! it made me quite sick to watch her.'
Are you quite sure that she knew whether my uncle was aware of her share in the matter?' said Anne.
'She must have seen it in that glance, or have been the most insensible creature upon earth,' said Elizabeth.
'Ah!' said Anne, 'I have some notion what that eye of your Papa's can be.'
'You, Anne?' said Elizabeth; 'you do not mean that you could ever have done anything to make him look at you in that way?'
'Indeed I have,' said Anne; 'do not you remember?'
'No, indeed,' said Elizabeth.
'However, it was not quite so bad as this,' said Anne.
'But do tell us what it was,' said Elizabeth, 'or I shall think it something uncommonly shocking.'
