"Miss Dallas." There was a rustle of approval at her quiet tone and a stir as of the assembly breaking up, but again the leader motioned for silence. As her eyes grew accustomed to the flicker and motion, she searched for Elinor, and saw her at last, the center of the weird procession, standing quietly beside the chair from which she had risen, holding her head with a sweet and gracious dignity that went straight to Patricia's chilled heart..
