It was the last week in April, and Mr. Gatty's Easter holiday was near its / end. On the Monday, very early in the morning, the young clerk would leave / Queningford for town.
By Friday his manner had become, as Susie Purcell expressed it, "so / marked" that the most inexperienced young lady could have suffered no / doubt as to the nature of his affections. But no sooner had Aggie heard / that he was going than she had begun to doubt, and had kept on doubting / (horribly) up to Saturday morning. All Friday she had been bothering / Susie. Did Susie think there was any one in town whom he was in a hurry to / get back to? Did Susie think such a man as Mr. Gatty could think twice / about a girl like her? Did Susie think he only thought her a forward / little minx? Or did she think he really was beginning to care? And Susie / said: "You goose! How do I know, if you don't? He hasn't said anything to / me."
