To The Wild Wood And The Downs,
To The Silent Wilderness."
--Percy Bysshe Shelley.
"To Your Happiness," I Said, Lifting My Glass, And Looking The Girl In
The Eyes. She Had The Grace To Blush, Which Was The Least That She
Could Do, For A Moment Ago She Had Jilted Me.
The Way Of It Was This.
I Had Met Her And Her Mother The Winter Before At Davos, Where I Had
Been Sent After South Africa, And A Spell Of Playing Fast And Loose
With My Health--A Possession Usually Treated As We Treat The Poor,
Whom We Expect To Have Always With Us. Helen Blantock Had Been The
Success Of Her Season In London, Had Paid For Her Triumphs With A
Breakdown, And We Had Stopped At The Same Hotel.

Myself To Bring To-Night, And I Thought--I Hoped--You Might Perhaps
Believe----"
"You Couldn't Have Hoped It," I Broke In. "Say That You Came To Give
Me Back My Little Pal, Whom You Had Stolen From Me."
"It May Be. I Don't Know, Myself. I Couldn't Foresee What Would
Happen. As I Heard You Say, About Motoring Down Steep Hills, I Just
Hurled Myself Into Space, And Trusted To Providence."
"Now I Understand All That Was Mysterious In Myself," I Said. "My
Heart, Not Being Such A Fool As My Head, Was Trying Continually To
Telegraph The Truth About The Little Pal To My Brain, Which Couldn't
Get The Message Right, As There Was Far Too Much Electricity Flying
About In The Atmosphere. Now I Know Why I Loved The Boy So Dearly,
Because He Was You; Because He Was That Other Half Which Every Man Is
Always Unconsciously Looking For, Round The World, And Hardly Ever
Finds."
"Oh, Man, Do You Really Care--Like That? Do You Love Me--Love 'For
Sure' This Time?"
"Sure For This Time, And For Eternity. There Never Really Was, There
Chapter 31 (The Boy's Sister) Pg 233Never Will Be, Any Other Woman In My Life Except You: For You Are My
Life And My World."
"You Don't Hate Me For My Masquerade?"
"Hate You! I'll Prove To You Whether I----"
"Why Does Your Face Look Suddenly Different, Man? Why Do You Stop?"
"Because--I've Remembered Something That I'd Forgotten."
"What?"
"Your Horrible Money."
"Don't You Think I Knew You'd Forgotten? Oh, Man, The Money Would Be
Horrible Indeed, If You Should Let It Come Between Us, But You Won't,
Will You? We Belong To Each Other; Your Following Me Here Proves It
Beyond Doubt. I've Known For Weeks That I Never Truly Cared For Anyone
Else, For I Love You, And Can't Do Without You."
"Then There's Nothing On Earth That Shall Come Between Us. Money Or
No Money, What Does It Matter, After All? Will You Finish The Journey
Of Life With Me, My Little Pal--My Love?"
The Star-Eyes Answered. And At That Moment Molly And Jack Came In.
