I 'm tired of staying home Sundays or driving fifteen miles to Marwood to hear poor old Mr. Grattan .

Now she lost her temper and raged . The storm of angry words beat on Mary Isabel like hail , but she fronted it staunchly . She seemed to hear Tom 's voice saying , `` Live your own life , Mary Isabel ; do n't let Louisa live it for you , '' and she meant to obey him . `` If you go to that man 's induction I 'll never forgive you , '' Louisa concluded . Mary Isabel said nothing . She just primmed up her lips very determinedly , picked up the silk dress , and carried it to her room . The next day was fine and warm .

Louisa was blacking the kitchen stove . She shot one angry glance at Mary Isabel , then gave a short , contemptuous laugh , the laugh of an angry woman who finds herself robbed of all weapons except ridicule . Mary Isabel flushed and walked with an unfaltering step out of the house and up the lane . She resented Louisa 's laughter . She was sure there was nothing so very ridiculous about her appearance .
