He was sending her fifty pounds, his first contribution to their home; and, the war over, a pretty new home she certainly should have. He would write to her grandfather again, though this day there was no time to do so. Guida realised now that she must announce the marriage at once. But what proofs of it had she?
When he published his first book of poems on quitting Oxford, the profits were to be reserved for a distressed clergyman.
