"That's your 'sensitive, artistic temperament,' as Mrs. Hand calls it. It must be awfully trying, though, not to be able to babble when you're pleased. It's such a relief to get it out of your system. I'd simply burst if I tried to keep quiet when I felt excited." "But Jaggard?" asked David, rising stiffly from his chair. "I hope Elinor tries for it," she said excitedly. "She'll say she's too green, I suppose.".
