Judith, ignoring Patricia's pungent remarks, turned her calm eyes inquiringly to Elinor. "You foolish child," he said in the deepest voice I almost ever heard him use. "You are just a lovely perfect flower, but if you will be happier to have Alfred Bennett come and find you as slim as a scarlet runner, I can show you how to do it. Will you do just as I tell you?" The subject of Mary Miller was brought up and discussed with great interest.
