"Do you wish David to marry Isabella Dallas?" Here Elinor gave a start, and then composed herself as Judith went on. "I am neither for nor against," replied Jen, enigmatically. "As I said before, let the girl marry who she loves best.".

As you know I have been attending upon Mrs. Dallas this week, and I saw plainly enough that my case was hopeless; that the girl was dying to marry Alymer.
