This was the dictum spoken authoritatively by Hester's aunt as, suddenly grown shy and awkward, that trembling mite stood clutching a corner of her clean pinafore with one hand, while the forefinger of the other went up rustically to the maligned mouth, as if to accentuate its width. Then as Hester stood a moment, her heart beating wildly within her, her eyes gypsy-dark and gleaming, the tall majestic lady took up the burden of her prophecy, Mother, you spoil the girl indeed you do. I said so to Sylvanus, my husband, only this morning. Where is Sylvanus? Oh, he has been detained by an important case. He will follow immediately!
