Be that as it might , Miss Rosetta certainly continued to render the course of Jacob Wheeler 's true love exceedingly rough and tumultuous . The end of it was that Charlotte had gone quietly away one morning and married Jacob Wheeler without Miss Rosetta 's knowing anything about it . Miss Rosetta had never forgiven her for it , and Charlotte had never forgiven the things Rosetta had said to her when she and Jacob returned to the Ellis cottage . Since then the sisters had been avowed and open foes , the only difference being that Miss Rosetta aired her grievances publicly , in season and out of season , while Charlotte was never heard to mention Rosetta 's name . Even the death of Jacob Wheeler , five years after the marriage , had not healed the breach . Miss Rosetta took out her curl-papers , packed her valise , and caught the late afternoon train for Charlottetown , as she had threatened . All the way there she sat rigidly upright in her seat and held imaginary dialogues with Charlotte in her mind , running something like this on her part : -- `` No , Charlotte Wheeler , you are not going to have Jane 's baby , and you 're very much mistaken if you think so . Oh , all right -- we 'll see ! You do n't know anything about babies , even if you are married . I do . Did n't I take William Ellis 's baby , when his wife died ? Tell me that , Charlotte Wheeler ! And did n't the little thing thrive with me , and grow strong and healthy ? Yes , even you have to admit that it did , Charlotte Wheeler . And yet you have the presumption to think that you ought to have Jane 's baby ! Yes , it is presumption , Charlotte Wheeler . And when William Ellis got married again , and took the baby , did n't the child cling to me and cry as if I was its real mother ? You know it did , Charlotte Wheeler . I 'm going to get and keep Jane 's baby in spite of you , Charlotte Wheeler , and I 'd like to see you try to prevent me -- you that went and got married and never so much as let your own sister know of it ! If I had got married in such a fashion , Charlotte Wheeler , I 'd be ashamed to look anybody in the face for the rest of my natural life ! ''
Miss Rosetta was so interested in thus laying down the law to Charlotte , and in planning out the future life of Jane 's baby , that she did n't find the journey XXXXX Charlottetown so long or tedious as might have been expected , considering her haste .
Since about as if in of that to with without
