`` I dare say your aunt was severe with you -- but two wrongs never make a right , you know . '' `` No 'm , '' said Chester . `` You must go back to your aunt , '' continued Miss Salome sadly . Chester nodded . He knew this , but he could not trust himself to speak . Then did Clemantiny arise in her righteous indignation . `` Well , I never heard of such nonsense , Salome Whitney ! What on earth do you want to send him back for ? I knew Harriet Elwell years ago , and if she 's still what she was then , it ai n't much wonder Chester ran away from her . I 'd say ` run , ' too . Go back , indeed ! You keep him right here , as you should , and let Harriet Elwell look somewhere else for somebody to scold ! '' `` Clemantiny ! '' expostulated Miss Salome . `` Oh , I must and will speak my mind , Salome . There 's no one else to take Chester 's part , it seems . You have as much claim on him as Harriet Elwell has . She ai n't any real relation to him any more than you are . '' Miss Salome looked troubled . Perhaps there was something in Clemantiny 's argument .
And she hated to think of seeing XXXXX go .
