Elinor laid her hands on the table and Patricia could see that the fingers were twisted together until the knuckles showed white. "But why did you wish to act in this generous manner?" He walked meditatively down to the gates, and here, on the high-road, his thoughts led him to a sudden conclusion respecting the coming conversation with Miss Dallas.
