"Why don't you get angry?"
"I do."
"So do I, sometimes; but it is your affair. Why don't you speak out?"
"She wouldn't care, David; it wouldn't make any difference."
"Judy? No, not with her; but why don't you speak out to grandmamma, or aunt Zara? They would care."
Matilda's cheeks flushed, and her eyes even looked a little watery; she did not answer at once.
"I don't want to do that, David."
