`` Thou should not have entered McLeod 's house -- what excuse hast thou for that fault ? '' `` Many have talked of the fault , none but thou have asked me why or how it came that I was so foolish . I will tell thee the very truth . I went to spend the day with Nana Bork -- with thy consent I went -- and towards afternoon there came an invitation from McLeod to Nana to join an informal dance that night at eight o'clock . And Nana told me so many pleasant things about these little dances I could not resist her talk and I thought if I stayed with Nana all night thou would never know . I have heard that I stole away out of thy house to go to McLeod 's . I did not !
