No, don't try--forgiveness doesn't come that way, Mrs. Pindar. (With sudden acuteness.) It was on account of George, not Dr. Jonathan, that you wanted to get me out of Foxon Falls. (AUGUSTA: I repeat--I shouldn't have asked you to go. Isn't that enough?) I told you not to worry about me and George. I ran away from him once--I guess I won't have to do it again. (AUGUSTA: You--you ran away from him?) From the church, too, and from the Bible class and from you, and from the shops. But I'm free now, there isn't any danger of my going wrong,--I know what I can do, I've learned my job--Dr. Jonathan's taught me. You needn't have me on your conscience, either. I'll go across and see if I can help Dr. Jonathan take care of that poor wreck, Prag. Life's been too tough for him-- AUGUSTA (starting forward to detain her). Wait a moment, Minnie,--tell me how you happened to come back, to be here so--providentially.
