Helen is upset with Wilcox, who dismisses the lower classes, whereas Helen has fairly naive notion of charitable efficacy. Meanwhile, Leonard, who had been advised by Henry Wilcox to change jobs, loses it all together and teeters on the abyss. Wilcox pursues and eventually marries Meg while the Schlegels are moving everything out of their childhood home. Wilcox dies (she leaves the house to Meg, but Henry burns the letter). The Wilcoxes move to London and Meg and Mrs. Helena and Meg, and their younger brother Tibby (figure for Forster), go to a Beethoven concert where they meet Leonard Bast because Helen accidentally took is umbrella. Wilcox, the elm-tree symbolizing everything old and passing in England, settles everything. She’s fallen in love with youngest son Paul, which sparks a minor scandal. Start off with letters written from Helen Schlegel to her sister Margaret about her (Helen’s) stay with the Wilcoxes.
