'' `` Yes '' said Helen `` but dont let us hurt poor Cyril 's feelings , no doubt he likes it . '' `` No doubt '' replied Marshland . By 5 o'clock Cyril came in , very hot but happy for all that . `` Well Helen '' he said `` what do you think of your future abode ? '' `` Oh its very nice '' answered Helen . `` Well let us ring for tea '' cried Cyril `` you will take your meal with us tonight Marshland , but tomorrow you will find your place in the kitchen with Alice the maid , who will do all the hard work while you preside .
