In the pale gray light her face was weary but peaceful. "I can't tell you how grateful I am." Jim's voice was brusque. " For a moment her hand lay on his arm in a friendly intimate gesture. For a moment he breathed the spring - like fragrance of the perfume she used. For a moment there was between them mutual understanding and respect, friendliness And something more disturbing.

It was a murky August morning, likely to be hot when the sun burned through the mist. Jim hoped that the expedition with Mr. Vaughn would not be a long one.
