"I will be," said Zorie. She reached for her dressing gown and said to Amber: "You wont mind g out for a while. My fiance wants to talk things over." There was droll amusement in Amber s "Ah, yes! Your fiance! Not at all, my dear." Zorie was sitting at the dressing table, thoughtfully considering Amber's array of cosmetics, when Paul knocked. She opened the door. He came in and closed it. She half lifted her arms, expecting that he would seize her and hug and kiss her out of sheer relief that she was alive. He looked her over quickly. He nodded jerkily. "You were he said. "You certainly werelucky," lucky. Are you sure you're ell right?" Zorie "Yes," said. "I'm all She was surprised that her right." feeling about Paul hadn't changed.

It occurred to her that it might be unwise to tell Paul that she had been thrown overboard. She was sure that the only people on the ship who knew were Amber, her uncle, and Pierre Savoyard. It would be impossible to prove that one of them had thrown her overboard. It would, she decided, be wiser to wait until she had talked with Steve. "I have it all fixed up with the captain." Paul said. "The whole episode will be forgotten nothing will be said. The incident will be closed." grim-nes- being put about to pick you up, and since then, the captain and the chief officer have been questioning the crew. Several of the crew say you were drunk. You were seen staggering about the ship." "I see," Zorie said dreamily. "I fell overboard because I was drink- isn't it obvious? "Well, ling.". It was the admiral. He hoped he hadn't waked her. He hoped she was feeling well after her experience hm? "Do you suppose you could drop around sometime this morning?" he Didn't you?" "Will that get into the papers?" Zorie asked. "Certainly not! That's what I've been arranging. Everything's all fixed. The story had already been wirelessed to Honolulu and the mainland that it was a prank. Someone dared you to walk the rail. You did. You slipped. You" "Who dared me?" Zorie asked. Paul made a gesture of impatience. "No name had to be given. No one knows. One of the passengers. That clears you of any of the wrong kind of notoriety, and it absolves the company of any responsibility. You see, in a case like this, there's often apt to be a lawsuit." "You mean, the company might sue me?" "No, dear. You might sue the order Refining Company distributor before you can your next requirements.

They publish the shipboard newspaper, you know. I gave them a rather amusing account of it for the passengers' benefit and to plug any nasty rumors that might be going around. Now, all you have to do is sign this." He held out a typed slip and his fountain pen, uncapped. "What is it?" "A release. It absolves the company of all responsibility." Zorie signed it. Paul waved the release, to dry her signature. "By the way," he said, "my brother is quite ill." "Steve?" Zorie cried. "Just about the time you fell overboard he was taken with an attack of acute indigestion. That was why the doctor didn't take care of you. He was busy pumping out Steve's stomach." "How ill is he?" Zorie gasped. "Oh, he'll be all right in the morning." "Does he get these attacks often?" "No, but he should the way he drinks.

"But Zorie began with determination. Then she realized that she must be patient with Paul. There were many people with whom she hadn't the slightest intention of being patient, but Taul was not one of them. She adored Paul. She s would see to it that he lost his and his stufiiness. Then Paul would be perfect. She went to bed. She was almost asleep when Amber let herself in. Amber opened and closed the door so carefully that it didn't make a sound. She undressed noiselessly. She took the greatest pains not to disturb the girl who had slapped her face. The telephone awoke her at a little before nine.
