And as old-fashioned folks used to say 'God be with you! If there be any meaning in the phrase, it is conveyed to you in all sincerity by your old friend, "DAVID HELMSLEY." "Cryptic, positively cryptic!" murmured Sir Francis, as he folded up the letter and put it by. "There's no clue to anything anywhere.
Nevertheless, my faith is firm that the seeming darkness of death will prove but the veil which hides the light of a more perfect life, and I have learned, through the purity of a great and unselfish human love, to believe in the truth of the Love Divine. Your friend always, DAVID HELMSLEY."
She turned away, and began busying herself with some of her household duties. Helmsley judged that he had said enough and quietly exulted in his own mind at the discovery which he was confident he had made. All seemed clear and open sailing for Angus Reay if if she could be persuaded that it was for herself and herself alone that he loved her.
Now your name's David but, by Jove, what a difference in Davids!" And he laughed, adding quickly "I prefer the David I see before me now, to the David I never saw!" "Oh! You never saw the old rascal then?" murmured Helmsley, putting up one hand to stroke his moustache slowly down over the smile which he could not repress. "Never and don't want to!
We believe in God with all our hearts and souls, and we love the dear gentle Saviour who came to show us how to live and how to die, but we like to pray as we've always been accustomed to pray, just without any show, as our Lord taught us to do, not using any 'vain repetitions." Helmsley, who was bending some stiff osiers in his hands, paused to listen.
It was impossible and ridiculous to think of himself as David Helmsley, the millionaire, there was, there could be no such person! David Helmsley, the real David Helmsley, was very old, very tired, very poor, there was nothing left for him in this world save death. He had no children, no friends, no one who cared for him or who wanted to know what had become of him.
And from the smouldering anger of the million at what they conceive to be injustice and hypocrisy, springs Anarchy." "All very well said, but now suppose you were a wealthy man, what would you do with your money?" asked Helmsley. Angus smiled. "I don't know, David! I've never realised the position yet. But I should try to serve others more than to serve myself."
Get 'long wi' ye, D. David! Old as y' are, ye 'ad a mother in yer time, an' I'll take my Gospel oath there was a bit o' good in 'er!" Helmsley stopped abruptly in his walk. "You are right, man!" he said, "And I am wrong! You know women better than I do, and you give me a lesson! One is never too old to learn," and he smiled a rather pained smile. "But I have had a bad experience!"
But Helmsley did not join the little crowd of affectionate parishioners he stayed at home while Mary went, as she said "to pray for him."
"Ah, it's a wise thing to be seen looking good in public!" said Helmsley. The woman laughed. "That's right! You can do a lot o' humbuggin' if you're friends with the parson, what more often than not humbugs everybody hisself.
