Oh my dear Helen I do beg it of you. Put it like this be kind to me and try. Your affectionate When Helen had read this letter she did not weep, but she felt as if some hurt, almost deeper than she could endure, was being inflicted on her. It had begun with the first sight of Franklin's letter; the writing of it had looked like hard, steady breathing over some heart-arresting pain.
The terror which ranked, in her mind, next to the disabling, heart-arresting terror of the first meeting with her husband, was that of the first moment when she must discover herself to her old acquaintance in Langdale or Elterwater in Kendal or Keswick as Phoebe Fenwick.

But no caress of his could help her now. He held himself still in his chair and waited. "The whole truth of this story isn't any prettier than the brute fact. There weren't any extenuating circumstances."
Then, as the chauffeur began to fold up his road map, thanking Burns for his careful directions, and both cars were on the point of starting, the object of King's heart-arresting scrutiny looked at him once again.
