The next morning Helen was sadly feverish, though quite sensible.
From the time she woke up 11-30 a.m. she never opened her lips.
She was very feverish and her brain very much upset.
Mr. Palsey decided not to tell Helen the fearful news till she was better and indeed it was a wise thing to do. Helen smiled and looked pleased when Cyril went to see her, but turned away in disgust when Mr. Palsey went near her.
"Helen dear" said Cyril "I am going out now, is there anything you would like me to buy for you?"
"No nothing" replied Helen "let me be alone, I want no one near me."
Cyril sighed, took up his hat and departed.
Entering the sitting room he found Mr. Palsey busy writing.
"James" said Cyril "I must go out now, will you come."
"No I cant" replied Mr. Palsey "I am very busy."
