I shall not go back to Louisa after her locking me out . When it stops raining I 'll go straight up to my cousin Ella 's and stay with her until I arrange my plans . But one thing is certain , I shall not go back to Louisa . '' `` I would n't , '' said the doctor recklessly . `` Now , do n't cry and do n't worry . Take off your hat -- you can go to the spare room across the hall , if you like . Jim has gone upstairs to lie down ; he has a bad headache and says he does n't want any tea . So I was going to get up a bachelor 's snack for myself . My housekeeper is away . She heard , at church that her mother was ill and went over to Marwood . '' When Mary Isabel came back from the spare room , a little calmer but with traces of tears on her pink cheeks , the doctor had as good a tea-table spread as any woman could have had . Mary Isabel thought it was fortunate that the little errand boy , Tommy Brewster , was there , or she certainly would have been dreadfully embarrassed , now that the flame of her anger had blown out . But later on , when tea was over and she and the doctor were left alone , she did not feel embarrassed after all . Instead , she felt delightfully happy and at home . Dr. Hamilton put one so at ease . She told him all about Tom 's letter and her subsequent revolt . Dr. Hamilton never once made the mistake of smiling . He listened and approved and sympathized . `` So I 'm determined I wo n't go back , '' concluded Mary Isabel , `` unless she asks me to -- and Louisa will never do that . Ella will be glad enough to have me for a while ; she has five children and ca n't get any help . ''
The XXXXX shrugged his shoulders .
