It was such an abstract, intangible thing to her at present that it was quite easy to feel reassured and comforted. But when had Elladora become her gallant defender? Phineas might not defend her honor but clearly his sister would and it almost set her off weeping again. "Would that I could have married you instead." If Elladora's mind in Phineas' body... The thought was enough to make her feel quite suddenly very self-conscious - among other things.

"I think- I'm tired, would you help me...?" Not that her sister-in-law was left with much choice in the matter she had already tried to get back into bed on her own and failed spectacularly.
