Helen May's chin squared a little; but she who had not screamed when she found her father dead in his bed; she who had read his letter without whimpering held her voice quiet now, though womanlike she answered Starr's question with another. "What makes you think I am tangled up with it? What reason have you got for connecting me with such a thing?"
She grew pale when he talked of Burley, and shuddered, poor little Helen? when she found he was daily, and almost nightly, in a companionship which, with her native honest prudence, she saw so unsuited to strengthen him in his struggles, and aid him against temptation.
That side of life may go to pieces and then there's nothing left for it but to cry. But that side isn't all life, Miss Buchanan. Helen did not repudiate his interpretation of her grief.
