Here Mr. Palsey interposed "goodbye Miss Winston" he said raising his hat.
Helen drew herself up and gave him a look (such a one as once seen never forgotten) and then turning to her friend said, "well goodbye Gladys, a pleasant journey to you dear."
"Goodbye Helen" said Gladys bravely and calmly and without a break in her voice.
"I hope you will enjoy yourself in London."
Mr. Palsey looked astounded, he had expected a loud fit of crying at least.
"Wont you say goodbye to me Miss Winston he asked sheepishly.
"No cried Helen in a laud voice, "it was an evil day for you Mr. Palsey when my good father asked you to his house."
Mr. Palsey jumped into the open fly and put his bag beside him.
Helen stood on the steps waving her hand with tears in her eyes, while Gladys, for the sake of the friend she loved, sat erect and tearless in the carriage which soon wheeled her away from "Beach Dale" and its occupants.
