The food she was eating seemed to choke her . She wished she were a hundred miles away from everyone she ever knew . Mrs. Bowes gave a grunt of dissatisfaction . `` Well , I think it is a pretty queer piece of business . But if you are satisfied , it is n't anyone else 's concern , I suppose . He stayed with her till ten o'clock and when he left she did everything but kiss him -- and she asked him to come back too . I heard . '' `` Aunt ! '' protested the girl . She felt as if her aunt were striking her blow after blow on a sensitive , quivering spot . It was bad enough to know it all , but to hear it put into such cold , brutal words was more than she could endure . It seemed to make everything so horribly sure . `` I guess I had a right to listen , had n't I , with such goings on in my own house ? You 're a little fool , Estella Bowes ! I do n't believe that LeMar girl is a bit better than she ought to be . I wish I 'd never taken her to board , and if you say so , I 'll send her packing right off and not give her a chance to make mischief atween folks . '' Estella 's suffering found vent in a burst of anger . `` You need n't do anything of the sort ! '' she cried . `` It 's all nonsense about Spencer -- it was my fault -- and anyhow , if he is so easily led away as that , I am sure I do n't want him !
I wish to goodness , XXXXX , you 'd leave me alone ! ''
