Ellie being a good friend to Gavin
  • matthewm August 2011
    Pg. 277

    Suddenly Gavin felt his terrors lift. He moved toward Ellie, and she did not shrink away. "Have you understood what has happened to me?" he said slowly and deliberately. "I am not sure you have got the right brother."
    "I understand exactly what has happened to you," she replied softly. "And who's to say you have got the right heiress?" She began scrabbling around in her pocket. Triumphant, she brought out the little wooden dog Gavin had returned to her at their unsatisfactory leave-taking. "It has been right there since you left," she said simply.

    I chose this passage because it shows how Ellie is a great friend to Gavin. Such as when Gavin thinks he is not good enough for Ellie because he lost an arm, Ellie reassures him that she doesn't care what he looks like or even that he is disabled and still wants to get married to him. So as you can see Ellie is great friend.
