<strong>Cooper offers himself to Helena in the drawing room</strong><br/><br/>Pleased to hear that Helena was feeling alright, but knowing that this was perhaps a half truth, Cooper smiled back at her a little warmly. Seconds later his thoughts on her actual feelings were confirmed when she amended her answer. Saddened by this, and once she had ask the policemen if she could take the children elsewhere, he requested “Please allow me to accompany you to wherever you wish to take the children as judging by these screams, throughout the house, the dangers are perhaps not yet over…” He looked at the policemen before continuing as he know with them here they were no more safe than they were before they had arrived. Like the Major, he knew they were incompetent fools at best and in most cases blithering idiots. Then he concluded “…Even with the police here.” He then waited patiently for Helena to decide whether to accept his protection.
