"It is all through her opposition to the match that this has come about!"，Patricia felt rather ashamed of Elinor's lack of response to what she considered Doris' loyal support, and she broke out gratefully, "You'll tell them all, won't you? They'll soon understand if you tell them!"，The bewildered man stared at her as though he was himself bereft of reason.
