He went round the back of the cart and lighted the other lamp. "Now I'm going to drive you home. That basket's heavy." "I have been shopping," she explained. "Tomorrow a visitor is coming." "Your father?" he asked quickly. "No; he hasn't been again. He's ill, Notya says, and it's too cold for him here. Dr. Zebedee, aren't you glad to be back on the moor?" "Well, I don't see much of it, you know.
John, here's Helen suggesting that I'm in love with Zebedee!" "Well, why not?" he asked, but he was hardly thinking of what he said. "I've left Lily on guard in there. Notya has gone to sleep." "But she can't have," Helen said. "She has, my child." "Are you sure she's not are you sure she is asleep?" "Like a baby." "Then we shall have to make a noise and wake her.
She peered into Helen's face and squeaked, "And what the devil is there to do?" "Don't use words like that." "Wow! Wow! This is the devil's St. Helena, I imagine. There's nothing to be done in it. I believe she has eyes all round her head." "He's a gentleman always, in pictures." "Are you really stupid?" "I think so." "I was talking about Notya." "Oh."
You making that noise, and Notya upstairs, and that hideous nurse grinning, and George prowling about outside. I can't stay here." "Go to Brent Farm, then. You can tell John and stay there. Lily won't mind." "Shall I? John would be angry."
"Yes. I've lost my handkerchief." "Here's mine." "You're not angry with me, are you? How did you know I'd gone?" "I think the house told me. Oh, here's the moor. How good to get to it out of that pit. Come quickly. Notya " "I can't come faster. Tell me what you said to him. Nothing I said was any good." "I managed him." "And I couldn't. Suppose he catches me again." "He won't.
"Being able to do what you like," Miriam said promptly, "and having no Notya." John was trying to look patient. "Very well. Let us consider that." "Yes, grandpapa," Miriam answered meekly, and tweaked Helen's toe. "You think the tramp can do what she likes, but she has no money in her pocket, so she can't buy the comfortable bed and the good meal she is longing for.
I wonder if we shall ever meet again!" In the garden, with her hands folded on her knee, Helen was sitting meekly on a stool under the poplars and watching the swaying of the tree-tops. "The young nun at prayer," Miriam said. "I thought you came back to be with Notya." "She seemed not to want me." "Then you sacrificed me for nothing. That's just like you." "How?"
Liverish." "Order the chickens, then, but ask Notya first." "Where is she?" Together they peeped over the banisters and listened. "You'd better ask," Miriam said. "I wonder where she is. Call her," she added, daring Helen to break one of the rules of that quiet house; and Helen, who had discovered the truth that day, lifted her voice clearly.
He looked round. "Two arm-chairs? Do you always sit here?" "Yes. Notya can't hear us." "I see." "And you want to see the rest?" "I do." "I shall show you nothing." "I'd rather find it out." "Tomorrow," she said, "you will see Daniel and Zebedee. I know you'll be curious about him. I don't mind, but don't let him notice it, please, Rupert." He marked her little tremor. "Trust me.
By the bedside, soft slippers waited with an invitation, and into them Helen soon slipped her feet, for it seemed to her that the trouble thickened with each minute and that Notya must be in need of help.
