"To see Dr. Etwald, I suppose?" "Say that again, young one," she demanded imperatively. "Make it good and plain this time." "Now for a sight of the dislocated gentleman," said Elinor gayly. "And then for the great event." "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.".
