And even before her eyes reached its first words My darling darling, you must forgive me . . . somehow she knew. I never thought of this! she whispered aloud, in the tumbled desolation that seemed now like a deserted battlefield, like an ocean after a wreck. Her glance went on. She saw the word Tahiti, the word Malolo, the words snatch our few years of heaven Victoria went to the balcony and sat down in a green iron chair. Her legs had failed under her; she felt cold, but her face was burning. One trembling hand clung tight to the note; in the empty hotel rooms behind her the lights shone brightly over the packed handsome trunks, with their bands of white and blue.

Vic and the man went into the big, main room that constituted almost the entire cabin. At both sides of it were raised wide alcoves with windows; thick blue canvas curtains could shut them off from the main room. Each of these contained three beds, chests, chairs; opening from each was a large shower bath casually constructed of brown planks, with redwood fronds pushing their way in between the walls and the roof. In the main room were rugs, big chairs, tables from which bocks and magazines cascaded, an enormous fireplace smoked high from many a roaring blaze, lamps, cushions on a deep davenport; all of the comfortable, informal litter dear to the Window doors bachelor heart. opened on a flagged terrace behind which the magnificent crest of the mountain reared against the softly encroaching fog.
