Without a doubt the culmination had resulted from her few minutes' talk with Donald Whiting in the hall that morning.
It had started Linda to thinking deeply, and the more deeply she thought the clearly she saw the situation.

Linda was a loyal soul and her heart was honest.

She was quite willing that Eileen should: exercise her rights as head of the family, that she should take the precedence to which she was entitled by her four years' seniority, that she should spend the money which accrued monthly from their father's estate as she saw fit, up to a certain point.

That point was where things ceased to be fair or to be just.

If there had been money to do no more for Eileen than had been done for Linda, it would not have been in Linda's heart to utter a complaint.
