But it was n't the last of it -- not by any manner of means was it ! When our grown-ups returned almost the first words Aunt Janet said were , `` And so you had the Governor 's wife to tea ? '' We all stared at her . `` I do n't know what you mean , '' said Felicity . `` We had nobody to tea except Great-aunt Eliza . She came this afternoon and -- '' `` Great-aunt Eliza ? Nonsense , '' said Aunt Janet . `` Aunt Eliza was in town today . She had tea with us at Aunt Louisa 's . But was n't Mrs. Governor Lesley here ? We met her on her way back to Charlottetown and she told us she was . She said she was visiting a friend in Carlisle and thought she 'd call to see father for old acquaintance sake . What in the world are all you children staring like that for ? Your eyes are like saucers . '' `` There was a lady here to tea , '' said Felicity miserably , `` but we thought it was Great-aunt Eliza -- she never SAID she was n't -- I thought she acted queer -- and we all yelled at her as if she was deaf -- and said things to each other about her nose -- and Pat running over her clothes -- '' `` She must have heard all you said while I was showing her the photographs , Dan , '' cried Cecily . `` And about the Governor at tea time , '' chuckled unrepentant Dan . `` I want to know what all this means , '' said Aunt Janet sternly . She knew in due time , after she had pieced the story together from our disjointed accounts . She was horrified , and Uncle Alec was mildly disturbed , but Uncle Roger roared with laughter and Aunt Olivia echoed it . `` To think you should have so little sense ! ''
said XXXXX Janet in a disgusted tone .
