Mary asked to tell
Colin (that) she couldn't come and see him yet because she was busy in the
garden.
Martha wasn't happy to hear that and she said to Mary that Colin would
become angry when she told him that.
Mary answered she couldn't stay as Dickon
was waiting for her.
She added (that) she hadn't been in the garden yesterday
and asked Mary to tell Colin to read or look through his books.
Martha said he
had been waiting for her since 7 o'clock and asked Mary if she couldn't come
just for a minute.
Mary said she couldn't and didn't want to.
She added that she
would come to see him in the evening and asked Martha not to look at her in
that way.
