"Who?"
"You and I."
"I can't! I can't go in. I should—I should be sick! I can't. Helen, after last night—"
"Very well. Can you manage to go to Brent Farm and tell John? They ought to be at home now."
"But there's George."
"He won't hurt you."
"He'd speak to me if he saw me."
"No. He took no notice of you this morning."
"That was because I wasn't dressed."
Helen laughed rather weakly and for a long time.
