"Then who did?" Patricia, thrilled by the sweetness of the rippling, crooning song, and before the verse was half done, joined unconsciously in with the others, forgetting the need of words in the melody of the lilting song. "David!" ejaculated Maurice, in an astonished tone. "You wish Isabella to marry him?".
