"No doubt of it" said Mulberry and with that Lawrence disappeared into the hall.
The day was beautifully fine as I said before so Lawrence walked further than he had at first meant to and coming back he met Helen, Gladys and Mrs. Chizzle the nurse and at Helen's request he got into the carriage and made one of the party home.
Helen looked quite her old self again. The same bright red colour was on her cheeks and the old light in her eyes.
"I think the drive has done you good Miss Winston" remarked Lawrence noting the change in her face.
"Yes, I feel so much better" answered Helen "we drove all round Hyde Park and the air is really lovely for London."
"It is" replied Lawrence and then turning to the nurse he added "I should think you are pleased with the progress your patient is making."
"Yes" assented Mrs. Chizzle "I am."
"Do you think Miss Winston, you are well enough to drive to Cannon Street this afternoon and read Mr. Sheene's "story"? enquired Lawrence.
"Perfectly" replied Helen with a smile.
Lawrence was astounded, "you must be prepared for bad news" he said.
