After thinking for a while, Viola Harris called Daniel Yorke.
"Viola?" Daniel sounded surprised and delighted when he received her call.
Viola asked, "I heard you're going to Africa as a volunteer?"
Daniel paused for a moment, "Did Effie tell you? Did she ask you to try to persuade me?"
Viola didn't deny it, "She really hates to see you leave. She thinks you're going to Africa because of me and has been blaming me quite a bit."
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"I'm telling you this not to get an apology from you or to have you take up for me with Effie. I just hope you can explain things clearly to her. It would be best if you could convince her to support you, rather than facing your departure with resentment."
Viola thought it would be better for Effie to always hold a torch for Daniel rather than forgetting him over time out of resentment.
Her heart was with Daniel, so naturally, she wouldn't have a chance to fancy James Harris.
