There was a shout of amazed laughter, but Patricia persisted: Yes, Aunt Bettie is right about Dr. John; he doesn't see a woman, and there is no way to make him. What she had said about it made me realise that he had always been like that, and I told myself that there was no reason in the world why my heart should beat in my slippers on that account. Still I don't see why Ruth Clinton should have her head literally thrown against that stone wall, and I wish Aunt Bettie wouldn't. It seemed like a desecration even to try to match-make him, and it made me hot with indignation all over. I dug so fiercely at the roots of my phlox with a trowel I had picked up that they groaned so loud I could almost hear them. I felt as if I must operate on something. And it was in this mood that Alfred's letter found me. "You shall have it.".

"No," said Lady Meg, speaking for the first time, "because I did not know if you had come by it honestly." "Well, you needn't," expostulated Judith sagely. "You got it, didn't you?" Elinor laid her hands on the table and Patricia could see that the fingers were twisted together until the knuckles showed white. "I shall help you also," she said sadly. "That is, if you will accept of my help.".
