-"Very likely not. However that may be, the young lady was very
-decidedly carried away, and, having quite made up her mind that
-her stepfather was in France, the suspicion of treachery never
-for an instant entered her mind. She was flattered by the
-gentleman's attentions, and the effect was increased by the
-loudly expressed admiration of her mother. Then Mr. Angel began
-to call, for it was obvious that the matter should be pushed as
-far as it would go if a real effect were to be produced. There
-were meetings, and an engagement, which would finally secure the
-girl's affections from turning towards anyone else. But the
-deception could not be kept up forever. These pretended journeys
-to France were rather cumbrous. The thing to do was clearly to
-bring the business to an end in such a dramatic manner that it
-would leave a permanent impression upon the young lady's mind and
-prevent her from looking upon any other suitor for some time to
-come. Hence those vows of fidelity exacted upon a Testament, and
-hence also the allusions to a possibility of something happening
-on the very morning of the wedding. James Windibank wished Miss
-Sutherland to be so bound to Hosmer Angel, and so uncertain as to
-his fate, that for ten years to come, at any rate, she would not
-listen to another man. As far as the church door he brought her,
-and then, as he could go no farther, he conveniently vanished
-away by the old trick of stepping in at one door of a
-four-wheeler and out at the other. I think that was the chain of
-events, Mr. Windibank!" Once, Aunt Petunia, tired of Harry coming
-back from the barbers looking as though he hadn't been at all, had
-taken a pair of kitchen scissors and cut his hair so short he was
-almost bald except for his bangs, which she left "to hide that
-horrible scar. " Dudley had laughed himself silly at Harry, who 
-spent a sleepless night imagining school the next day, where 
-he was already laughed at for his baggy clothes and taped glasses.
-Next morning, however, he had gotten up to find his hair exactly
-as it had been before Aunt Petunia had sheared it off. He had 
-been given a week in his cupboard for this, even though he had
-tried to explain that he couldn't explain how it had grown back
-so quickly. Another time, Aunt Petunia had been trying to force
-him into a revolting old sweater of Dudley's. The harder she tried
-to pull it over his head, the smaller it seemed to become, until 
-finally it might have fitted a hand puppet, but certainly wouldn't 
-fit Harry. Aunt Petunia had decided it must have shrunk in the wash 
-and, to his great relief, Harry wasn't punished. On the other hand, 
-he'd gotten into terrible trouble for being found on the roof of the
-school kitchens. Dudley's gang had been chasing him as usual when, 
-as much to Harry's surprise as anyone else's, there he was sitting on the chimney.
-The Dursleys had received a very angry letter from Harry's headmistress telling 
-them Harry had been climbing school buildings. But all he'd tried to do 
-was jump behind the big trash cans outside the kitchen doors. 
-Harry supposed that the wind must have caught him in mid-jump.
