'' said Miss Salome mildly . She dropped her spoon , handle and all , into the taffy and never noticed it . `` Dear me , Chester ! '' `` I knew it , '' said Clemantiny triumphantly . `` I knew it -- and I always said it . Run away , did you ? '' `` Yes 'm . My name is Chester Benson Stephens , and I lived at Upton with Aunt Harriet Elwell . But she ai n't any relation to me , really . She 's only father 's stepsister . She -- she -- was n't kind to me and she would n't let me go to school -- so I ran away . '' `` But , dear me , Chester , did n't you know that was very wrong ? '' said Miss Salome in bewilderment . `` No 'm -- I did n't know it then . I 've been thinking lately that maybe it was . I 'm -- I 'm real sorry . ''
