Chapter 10

One week then two passed, yet Helen could not stop thinking about North's words at the picnic. Though she tried to dissuade him from his reasoning, he would not be influenced. To him, everything made perfect sense, and he treated his "epiphany," as he cal ed it, almost like it was a true memory.

Helen frankly did not know what to do or say when North wanted to talk about it.

Which he did-quite a lot. He wanted to know about each meeting they had, what they said, and how they treated one another.

It was so taxing on her poor nerves that Helen began to make excuses to stay away from his house. But that didn't work because he would just come down to the plantation to see her. It was an easy thing to do since he had an al y in the house, namely Imogene Baumgartner.

One good thing that happened was that North's preaching, thanks to Josie and Helen's helping him prepare, was greatly improved on the next Sunday, and one might say even inspiring on the third one. He seemed to be acclimating himself within the community as he visited families and prayed for their sick. As odd as it was, he seemed to be thriving in the occupation he was never meant to perform.

Helen would give herself headaches at night just thinking about the what ifs.

What if he never got his memory back? Would he be happy and content as Hamish Campbel ? What if he didn't remember until he was fifty? Would he want to rush back to England and try to acclimate himself to his old life, or would he decide to continue as a preacher?

Helen was certainly no philosopher about life's mysteries, but it sure opened her mind to possibilities outside what she'd always known. She even raised the question to herself as to whether God had, indeed, meant for North to take poor Hamish Campbel 's place.

But He didn't mean for you to lie and break one of His commandments, a voice would always remind her whenever she began to justify herself and her actions.

A knock sounded at her door, pul ing Helen from her pondering. It was Monday morning, and she was supposed to have been brushing her hair but had, as usual, gotten lost in her thoughts.

After Helen cal ed out for her visitor to come in, Imogene Baumgartner walked into the room, her face clearly upset. "Helen, I have just heard the most devastating news," she stated right away, her voice ful of sorrow as she pul ed a chair up so she could sit beside Helen.

Helen immediately thought of North. "Has something happened to Reverend Campbell?" she cried, not even realizing how easily his false name just rol ed off her tongue.

Imogene quickly assured her that wasn't it. She placed her hand over Helen's and told her, "It concerns Trevor Kent, the Duke of Northingshire, who is related to our friends at the Kent plantation."

Uh-oh, Helen thought with mounting dread.
