“You wanted to come back to England more than any thing then.”
He nodded.
“You see,” he said rather sadly, ‘we have to face the truth. “
“You’ve explained it,” I told him.
“We’re different.”
“We’ve come through dangerous times, Rosetta. We must make sure we are on the right course now. You will always be a very special person to me. I shall never forget you.”
“Nor I you, Simon.”
I felt as though a great weight had been lifted from me.
I rode over to Trecorn Manor. Lucas heard me and came out of the house.
“I wanted to talk to you, Lucas,” I said.
“Simon and I have discussed things. We understand each other perfectly.”
“Yes, of course,” said Lucas.
“Simon wants to go back to Australia.”
“Oh yes,” he said.
“I thought he might. And you are going with him.”
“No, Lucas, of course I couldn’t go. How could I leave you?”
He turned to me and I had never seen him look like that before.
“Are you sure?” he said.
“I am absolutely sure that it is the one thing I shall never do.”
