Sha n't I read ` Guinevere ' instead ? '' `` No , '' said Helen in the same lifeless tone . `` I have no sympathy for Guinevere . She suffered and her love was unlawful , but she was loved in return -- she did not waste her love on someone who did not want or care for it . Elaine did , and her life went with it . Read me the story . '' Reeves obeyed . When he had finished he held the book out to her . `` Helen , will you take this Tennyson from me in remembrance of our friendship and of the Kelpy 's Cave ? I shall never forget that I owe my life to you . '' `` Thank you . '' She took the book and placed a little thread of crimson seaweed that had been caught in the sand between the pages of `` Elaine . '' Then she rose . `` I must go back now . Aunt will need me . Thank you again for the book , Mr. Reeves , and for all your kindness to me . '' Reeves was relieved when the interview was over . Her calmness had reassured him . She did not care very much , after all ; it was only a passing fancy , and when he was gone she would soon forget him . He went away a few days later , and Helen bade him an impassive good-bye .
When the afternoon was far spent she stole away from the house to the shore , with her Tennyson in her hand , and took her way XXXXX the Kelpy 's Cave .
