Everet looks about and pauses. He forgets that Helen has not spoken since he entered the room in the morning. Of course he does not know what has passed between the two.
Braine seems utterly helpless, and looks at Everet in reply. Everet says quietly:
"You remembered to bring things as I wired you?"
Braine nods and points to the package on the chair.
Everet had asked Braine in his telegram to bring something that Helen could travel in. He knew that in a certain room, in a certain little white house, were certain beautiful belongings of Helen's; treasured for what? Such a time as this, perhaps.
Everet unrolls the things. Braine has been fortunate enough to select something suitable.
Everet says in a business-like way:
"She must leave here, at once—a hotel, or home?"
"Home."
"Very well; she must be dressed, you know. You had better assist her while I see about a carriage in which to get her away from this place."
