In spite of the duke's constant visits to the Tower, Charles II. still continued his friend; but on the death of the king, expecting little from James, he retired to his estate at Helmsley, in Yorkshire, to nurse his property and to restore his constitution.
Janetta was naturally very anxious to know something of the progress of affairs between Wyvis and Margaret, but she heard little for a rather considerable space of time. She was now entirely severed from Helmsley Court, and had no correspondence with Margaret.
There'd be no justice in the mind of God if millionaires weren't miserable," declared Tom o' the Gleam. "They've more money than they ought to have, it's only fair they should have less happiness. Compensation's a natural law that there's no getting away from, that's why a gypsy's merrier than a king!" Helmsley smiled assent, and with another friendly good-night all round, left the room.
A sixty-mile trip during three or four hours of the afternoon gave us the opportunity of seeing two abbey ruins, Helmsley Castle and Laurence Sterne's cottage at Coxwold. Our route led over a series of steep hills almost due north to Helmsley, a town with unbroken traditions from the time of the Conqueror.
"No matter how little you've got to leave, it's just as well it should go where you want it to go without trouble or difficulty. And there's generally a quarrel over every Will." "I hope there's no chance of any quarrel over mine," said Helmsley, with a touch of anxiety. "Oh no! Not the least in the world!

The hardened reprobate laughed at us. "Wait till I have seen his lordship and Mr. Helmsley," he said, and left the house. Does he mean to escape to foreign parts? Felicia, womanlike, believes in him still; she is quite convinced that there must be some mistake. I am myself in hourly expectation of the arrival of the police.
But I've got a brother as is on'y ten, an' when 'e aint at school 'e's earnin' a bit by gatherin' mussels on the beach, an' 'e do collect a goodish bit too, though 'taint reg'lar biziness, an' 'e gets hisself into such a pickle o' salt water as never was. But he brings mother a shillin' or two." "And who is your mother?" asked Helmsley, drawing up his chair to the table and sitting down.
Then he glanced at Helmsley again with a more confiding and favourable eye. "Ye seems a 'spectable sort," he said. "What's wrong wi' ye? Out o' work?" Helmsley nodded. "Turned off, eh? Too old?" "That's about it!" he answered. "Well, ye do look a bit of a shivery-shake, a kind o' not-long-for-this-world," said the man.
But don't ask me to sympathise very deeply with the imaginary sorrows of so enormously wealthy a man as you are!" "I don't expect any sympathy," said Helmsley. "Sympathy is the one thing I have never sought, because I know it is not to be obtained, even from one's nearest and dearest. Sympathy! Why, no man in the world ever really gets it, even from his wife.
