say: "I’ll give him something now
to keep him quiet for an hour or so.
He will be in pain, Tamiar, when he
comes out, but he’s going to be all
right in a few days. ..Just give him
some of the pleasant Shadwell hos

back to the white pillow,

How long would Christopher stay

ran through her body. His dark

just casual interest this morning:
“Isn’t he the good-looking thing?”
Selby Sheridan, her best friend, had
whispered to her at their first meet

her blonde curls and gone after him,

read to him.
Their conversation touched upon
many subjects and Tamar felt "that
she had known him for years. The

breakfast room -where Tamar found
him when she came down.
She saw the newspapers propped
up in front of the host’s chair and

“You’re late this morning, aren’t
you?”
The paper moved, “Better late

Tamar laughed. “How did you
