"[...]steps to greet his ward. She gave him a smile and a left hand, and went on talking. Lord Buntingford stood by, twisting his moustache, till she had finished. Then the chauffeur, looking flushed and sulky, got into the car, and the girl with Lord Buntingford ascended the steps. Mrs. Friend left the window, and hurriedly went back to the drawing-room, where tea was still spread. Through the drawing-room door she heard a voice from the hall full of indignant energy. "You ought to sack that man, Cousin Philip. He's spoiling that beautiful car of yours." "Is he? He suits me. Have you been scolding him all the way?" "Well, I told him a few things—in your interest."

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Helena, a.k.a. Cousin Philip By Bomojaz This is an interesting novel about guilt and redemption, and about learning to accept meaningful happiness even at the expense of passion and fiery romance. Philip Bliss becomes the heir of Helena Pitstone, a cousin of nineteen with a fervent temperament and some experience in the world as an ambulance driver in WW I. She resents Bliss's trying to "control" her. Meanwhile another cousin, Cynthia Welwyn (all the last names are meaningful), has been in love with Bliss for years. Bliss, however, marries Anna, but it's a marriage not made in heaven, and Anna runs off to Paris apparently with another man. Soon he reads a notice in the newspaper that she is dead. Never being able to prove her death, he foregoes remarrying, though once he comes close (for which he feels guilty). Later Anna reappears with a son, Bliss's son, and tells him that she put the death notice in the paper to "free" him. The son, Arthur, is mentally retarded, and Anna can't care for him any longer and wants Bliss to take over so she can go to America. He agrees and all the pieces fall together: Bliss finally finds the happiness (the bliss) he'd been looking for in caring for his son; Cynthia is a marvel with Arthur and "wins well" Bliss's love (they marry); and Helena relinquishes her "stony hardness" toward Philip and falls in love with the energetic Geoffrey. Mrs. Humphrey Ward could never be considered a "modern" novelist (she opposed women's suffrage to her dying day), though in some of her later books (HELENA was her second-to-last novel) she was beginning to point in that direction. Some of her attitudes about marriage, for instance, were very progressive (she does not consider Anna a "bad" person for running off to Paris). There's a briskness in Ward's writing that was sometimes lacking in other novels during this period. (HELENA is the American title; it was originally called COUSIN PHILIP when first published in England.)
