"Very generous of you indeed," said Jen, ironically; "but I do not see why you should behave in such a noble manner when you were so much in love with the girl." Her eyes strayed about, resting on one group after another till they lighted with sudden interest. David replied in equally as cold a manner. "Why?" asked Jen, with military brevity..
