XXIII

I did not write to Hugo. George told him, and Guy wrote to me

at once.

‘Congratulations and good wishes,’ he said; that was all.

Cousin Delia asked me to bring Walter down to see her I said

I would, the next week-end.

Hugo wrote later:

‘Helen dear, I hope you will be happy. I hope you have chosen

right. Other people cannot judge for you, not even we, who have

known you best.’
