Midnight would seem noonday , and all phantoms flee away . '' `` And yet , Helen , '' he cried , `` you have a friend always near , stronger to protect than legions of angels can be . Do you realize this truth ? '' `` I trust , I believe I do , '' answered Helen , looking upward into the dome of darkening blue that seemed resting upon the tall , dark pillars of the woods .
