There was a general murmur of laughter at this, but the leader stood rigid, awaiting Elinor's reply. While the major was thus considering what step he should take, David, returning from a long and solitary walk, entered the room. Of late the young man had indulged in these lonely excursions, whence he always returned more melancholy than ever.
