"I don't listen," said Susan, "People are always in such a hurry. I can't keep up."
"I suppose you think Alison was in a great hurry."
"Only Alison knows about that."
"Yes." Mrs. Weston looked at her with affectionate admiration, as though she had been endowed with rare understanding of the human heart. "Do you know you are the only one of the people Alison liked who has come here—since?"
"Oh." (Susan's favourite eloquent reply.) "I don't mind about people."
"He doesn't mind at all. She doesn't mind yet."
"What is that you are working?" said Susan.
"But indeed they are most perfectly happy," said Mrs. Weston, in a hurry.
"Is it for a tucker?" said Susan.
