I'll speak to Ramon about it. He'll he delighted, I’m certain. Men adore to have their conquests staged for them.” “Sandy—you won't mention such a thing! It wouldn't be unlike you! You won't?” Sandy was washing her hands at the small basin. She said absently: “There’s five days before we need to bother about Alice, mother.” She clung to the thought of these five days. Her imagination prolonged the moments into hours, weeks, years. Five days yet—the two words became a paean. Five full days of freedom —sweetness— joy. Why should she darken them with forebodings? What had she to fear? Her problem was settled. Yet the mere mention of home disquieted her; filled her with uneasy dreads • • • HE stood on the upper deck.

Now he said: "You're unhappy, Sandy. Is It because of what I said this morning?” “I don’t know. Os course notl It’s because things are.” "And you wish I knew nothing about you?” “No. That wouldn’t make much difference.” “You look like a person who should have everything on earth. Sandy.” She laughed: “I feel like that kind of a person. Ramon. But Isn’t It strange whit little trifles may alter a whole life? For Instance, such a thing as a battery on an automobile running down at the wh-ong moment.” "Well, how could that do It?"

I hope I’ll be doing them a decade or so more. What about you? Aren't you glud I'm along? You’d be lone, some without me. Here —don’t turn your face Awny.” “Yes—l will.” “But you like to kiss me.

He could see the cgqul site curve of her lips and the black ness of her long lashes on the pnle cheeks. She said huskily: "But things are different, Sandy. I know what you mean. You mean that the kind of great love you were talking about yesterday doesn't admit of any snatching at flowers along th<> wayside. Hut for those who have: this great love?" “I don’t know.” "Yes you do. You think you've a I night to be happy, to laugh, to live. And you want to do all these things don't you? They mean life to you.
