Well, if Helen spent Christmas with the Dalmains, she would come in for little Geoff's Christmas-tree, which would certainly be a beauty. He plodded heavily on. He felt extraordinarily lonely. Would Helen miss him? Hardly. You do not miss a selfish person. He would miss Helen horribly; but then Helen was not selfish. She was quite the most unselfish person he had ever known.
But, as yet, it took Helen's clear and faithful eyes to discern the pools; to perceive the possible strong foundations. "Do you remember," he said presently, "the Dalmains coming over last January, with their little Geoff?
In the trying uncertainty of these few weeks while Jim Airth was still in England, she dreaded questions or comments. To Jane Dalmain she had written the whole truth. The Dalmains were at Worcester, attending a musical festival in that noblest of English cathedrals; but they expected soon to return to Overdene, when Jane had promised to come to her.
One would simply be obliged to live up to his baby belief in one; wouldn't one, Helen?" "Yes, darling; we we should." "I hope you will see a lot of the Dalmains while I am away. Try to put in a good long visit there. And she would come over, if you wanted her, wouldn't she?" "Yes; she will come if I want her." "You and she are great friends," pursued Ronnie, "aren't you? I find her alarming.
If trains aren't late, you hit off the three o'clock at Huntingford." "Thanks," said Ronnie, noting down particulars. Then he walked rapidly back to the hotel. "I can't stand it," he said. "I shall bolt! With me off her hands, she can go and have a jolly Christmas at the Dalmains. She is always welcome there. I must get away alone and think matters out.
"I want you to go to the Dalmains by motor, as soon as you find this, and have a jolly, restful time with them. You look worn out. "P.S. I am obliged to leave this in my room. I hope you will find it there. I don't even know where your room is, Helen, in this beastly hotel." Ronnie considered his postscript; then crossed out "beastly" and substituted "large."
