Mary Isabel sank into a chair and looked at Dr. Hamilton with tears in her eyes . `` Was n't it an unkind , unsisterly thing to do ? '' she asked piteously . `` Oh , I shall never feel the same towards Louisa again . Tom was right -- I did n't tell you about Tom 's letter but I will by and by . I shall not go back to Louisa after her locking me out . When it stops raining I 'll go straight up to my cousin Ella 's and stay with her until I arrange my plans . But one thing is certain , I shall not go back to Louisa . '' `` I would n't , '' said the doctor recklessly . `` Now , do n't cry and do n't worry . Take off your hat -- you can go to the spare room across the hall , if you like . Jim has gone upstairs to lie down ; he has a bad headache and says he does n't want any tea . So I was going to get up a bachelor 's snack for myself . My housekeeper is away . She heard , at church that her mother was ill and went over to Marwood . '' When Mary Isabel came back from the spare room , a little calmer but with traces of tears on her pink cheeks , the doctor had as good a tea-table spread as any woman could have had . Mary Isabel thought it was fortunate that the little errand boy , Tommy Brewster , was there , or she certainly would have been dreadfully embarrassed , now that the flame of her anger had blown out . But later on , when tea was over and she and the doctor were left alone , she did not feel embarrassed after all . Instead , she felt delightfully happy and at home . Dr. Hamilton put one so at ease .
She told him all XXXXX Tom 's letter and her subsequent revolt .
