If I can't be very, very near to you, Alix darling, I must keep myself as far away as possible. It is the only way. But if I keep on at this rate, you will think I am writing a love letter to you, when, as a matter of fact, I am only asking you if you care to see me and tell me what I can do to help you now, if you need the help of your Always devoted
She had been so strangely nervous and distracted in manner all morning that Alix had more than once asked her if there was anything wrong. Now she questioned her again. "You mustn't mind me!" Cherry said, with a laugh. "I'm desperately unhappy," she said, her eyes watering. "And sometimes I think of desperate remedies, that's all." "I'd do anything in the world to help you, Cerise!"

Charlie Webster came up at that juncture.
"I'll have to be on the move, Courtney. Here comes Bill Foss. He's been telephonin' to Litchtown, down the river. I do wish you'd go over and see Lucinda. She'll be mighty grateful to you."

Alix looked up at the outward curve of the reversed branches, bent almost to the splitting point in the unfamiliar direction, and whistled. She tentatively tugged at a loose spray, and stood biting her thumb. "Why it should have kept its place for fifteen years and then suddenly flopped, is a mystery to me!" she observed resentfully.

But " and Alix looked doubtfully from one to the other "but divorce is a hateful thing!" she added, shaking her head, "it it never seems to me justifiable!" "Divorce is an institution," Peter said. "You may not like it any more than you like prisons or mad-houses; it has its uses." "People get divorces every day!" Cherry added. "Isn't divorce better than living along in marriage without love?"
