"How was it David saw the crime committed?" "Thank you, Lady Meg," said Jen, cordially. "I congratulate you on your presence of mind, and on your courage." Elinor smiled ruefully. "And I'd like to swap with you," she said. "I'd much prefer a quiet time like I had in the head class this morning, or an agreeable time like you had, to anything riotous.".
