Think what a scandal there'd have been then when Aunt Ida arrived.

"Why how nice to see you," Aunt Ida said, as if she hadn't seen them a hundred times before.

Did it suddenly come to life on the night Aunt Ida died?

Christine sarcastically says that she is looking forward to seeing Aunt Ida.

She gets up and follows Aunt Ida back to the house.

Christine was angry that she had run away without a word to Aunt Ida.

Aunt Ida came over for dinner, and to Christine's surprise she was quite pleasant.

"I dropped by to let you know that Aunt Ida took off about an hour ago."

Aunt Ida said people here in town love you.

I don't want to live off Aunt Ida any more than necessary.
