He kissed her throat and the blue lides of her eyes and then her mouth. The colour stirred slowly in her creamy cheeks and her lips grew scarlet and full. “Peter, I adore you,” she whisper ed, dragging herself from a deep abyss to meet his love with her own pale ardour. “But, my1 dear, you’re so far away.” Peter’s lips were against her mouth. “It's like calling a ghost back to my embrace.

The funnels rose like black towers, pouring a stream of smoke into the night. It was hot in a. smooth and milky way. She threw off h'»r wrap and clutched at her throat. Peter slid his hand along the rail and caught her fingers. “Strange, isn’t it?.” Jenny whis kered. “Why strange?” “I feel as if we were all alone in the night and very far from every- ■ one.

There were moments ■ When one was alone in all the uni- j verse, when there was no aid, no j communion, anywhere, but how could one convey this sense of isola tion, even to the man one loved. She sank to a deck /chair and lay looking up at the stars. For an hour they seemed to be racing thro’ foam under a canopy that reached to infinity. “What a fine sense of exhilaration one gets on the top deck!” said Pe ter, turning from the. rail to look at the silent Jenny. “But I wish we were having a roaring storm; this is j so tame. l’ like the fury of the sea. j You’ve never been in a real storm, have you, Jenny?” “No, never.

She turned to him suddenly her voice edged with pain. “You're thinking of the future, aren’t you, Peter?” “I know’—the two of us together. How do you think it will be—after wards, when all this is over?” “This won’t come to a sudden stop Jenny. Our happiness will continue.’ “It’s peaceful here tonight, but I’m afraid of what time w’ill do to us, Peter.” “Rubbish! You’re carrying your troubled self too far from home.” Clare and Johnny went pacing by Peter turned lis head to watch the sweep of the figure in violet chiffon. Her shoulders swayed as she moved; she held her chin like a bird in flight. He was now abstracted, puffing at his cigarette. Jenny’s voice was crossing his thoughts. “I’m' hynotized by the sea, Peter. It’s like a song in my heart, rhythm ic and never-ending. Look; at the queer glow on the horizon!” “You never know what you are going to encounter in this region.

Things are not so bad,” Angela remarked, star ing at his clouded face. Her attention wandered about the room. There was Macduff, staring into space and high-hatting the world with the aid of a stiff drink. And here came Jenny, straying into the room with her usual lost air. Her expression in a mirror as her glance rested on Peter and Clare, was tinged with a flush of surprise, and she looked like a bird that has been winged. She moved straight over to the table, dragging a long white scarf behind her. “Peter, I overslept.

Angela sauntered under her para sol, alive to the drama around her. When she had had enough, she took a car and drove to the Towers of Silence.
