"It looks uncommonly like it. Do you know it's two months since you've been here?"
"Is it? I've lost count."
"I should think you did lose count!"
"I'm sorry, Molly. I couldn't come."
"You talk as if you had engagements every day in Garthdale."
"If it comes to that, it's months since you've been to us."
"It's different for me. I have engagements. And I've my husband and children too. Steven hates it if I'm out when he comes home."
"And Papa hates it if I'm out."
"It's no use minding what Papa hates. What's making you so sensitive?"
"Living with him."
