Good-bye for the present! I hope when I do come I shall find that all's well.

All will be well in the end, eh, Jeff ?" There was a touch of feeling in the question that made Doris aware that the speaker had gripped her husband's hand.
But again there was a pause before the answer came, heavily, it seemed reluctantly: "Yes, it'll be all right for her in the end.

Good-bye!" The front-door opened; they went out into the porch together.

And Doris slipped back, to her room.
Those last words of her husband's rang strangely in her heart.

Why had he put it like that?
Her thoughts went to Hugh--dear and faithful friend who had taken this step on her behalf.
