The jewils consisted of two broachs, one set entirely in diamonds, the other a horseshow set in rubies; a gold watch, chain and seals; a nexlet of pearls and a gold bracelet fastenned with a ruby heart.
Mr. Winston placed the bracelet on Helen's slender arm; "this" he said "was to be given you in your nineteenth year, the other jewils by your mother's will will be given to you when you come of age.
"How lovely" cried Helen glancing at the circlet of gold on her wrist.
"I will now lock up the rest of the things" said Mr. Winston "and mind Helen, not a word of this is ever to be revealed."
"Never father" said Helen kissing him.
Mr. Winston had barely shut the safe and closed the curtain when the door opened and in came Cyril Sheene.
"Good morning Winston" he cried hastily, "I thought I'd just pop in and see if Helen would come out with me."
"Why Cyril we didn't expect you half so early" said Helen blushing.
"No I'm sure you didn't replied Cyril, "but you will come out wont you?"
"Oh certainly" said Helen and she ran up to get her hat.
