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