This was said pointedly, with a view to drawing forth some remark about Alizon, but Guy did not take it in that sense.
"I don't want to neglect you, aunt," he said moodily, "but our conversations are not so pleasant that I should look forward to them."
"I only speak for your good."
"People always do that when they make disagreeable remarks," replied Errington sarcastically. "You're not looking well to-day, Aunt Jelly."
"I don't feel well either," responded his aunt shortly. "I'm dying."
"Oh, no, don't say that," said Guy, heartily shocked at her remark.
"But I will say it," retorted Miss Corbin, nodding her head vigorously, "and I'll say something else too that you won't like."
"I've no doubt you will," answered Guy crossly, rising to his feet. "Look here, Aunt Jelly, you're not well to-day, and if you brought me here to quarrel, I'm not fit for it."
"You're fit for nothing in my opinion except the Divorce Court," said Aunt Jelly viciously. "Sit down."
"I don't know what you mean by talking about the Divorce Court," answered Errington calmly, obeying her command.
