It was Elinor's turn to raise misty eyes to the Messenger of the Ideal, and, like Judith, she was silent, busy with this thought. Patricia was about to speak, but there was a general stir and a voice cried, authoritatively: "Poor David!" echoed Etwald, with a sneer. "Foolish David, you might say, to die for the sake of a woman.".

"Mrs. Hand wants a 'lady houseworker,' but I don't believe she'd have an ex-model. She's so awfully particular, you know." Bruce opened his eyes and sat up, piercing Patricia with a keen gaze.
