It's all very well to laugh, Cynthia! But what am I to do ?" Cynthia, however, continued to laugh unrestrainedly.

And he joined in.
"And now you want advice ?" she said at last, checking her mirth.

"I'm awfully sorry for you, Philip.

What about the little chaperon ?" "As nice a woman as ever was--but I don't see her preventing Helena from doing anything she wants to do.

Helena will jolly well take care of that.
Besides she is too new to the job." "She may get on better with Helena, perhaps, than a stronger woman," mused Cynthia.
