“But you have many good friends now, sir.”
“I fear they cannot help me. When I left that hall I tried to tell you with my eyes that I was going away.”
“I—I think I understood,” she stammered. “It was wrong—it was folly—but I followed you without knowing why I did so.”
“I am glad you did. I can say farewell to you here.”
“But you must not go away, Mr. Farr. You are needed.”
“I am going because I can best help the work in that way. If I stay here I may be the cause of great harm.”
“I cannot understand.”
“I do not want you to understand.”
“Why?”
“It is a matter which concerns others besides myself.”
