"And condemn the poor girl to eternal misery," said Etwald. "Well, I do not agree with you. But, at least, keep silent until after our interview to-morrow." "Maurice is not here. Come, Miss Dallas, let me take you back to your mother." Elinor was breathing fast as she swept the corridor with anxious glance. "You never know what you can do till you try. I'd try for anything I was eligible for, if I couldn't draw a stroke, just to be in with the rest.".
