[Margaret's Perspective]
I made up my mind to talk to Elizabeth about this. I had spent enough time with Donald. If I was always interrupted by others, no matter what Donald thought, I was unwilling to accept it.
I went to the door and pulled it open. I was about to put on a stern face and a lecturing stance when I was surprised to find that the person at the door was not Elizabeth but Elliot.
"That was you?"
I hadn't seen Elliot since this morning. I thought that Donald had transferred him away after he stopped watching over me. Now that I suddenly saw him, my first reaction was that Donald had changed his mind for some reason.
'Has something else happened?' I asked.
Elliot looked a little different from usual. He usually stood upright and was always full of fighting spirit and serious work. But at this moment, his head was lowered and I couldn't see his expression clearly.
"May I speak inside, Miss Margaret?"
