"It seems impossible that sailors of any civilized government could do things like this."
She turned away and went up the lane again, avoiding the inn and the riverside houses, walking slowly, her head down. And a thought came, her first hopeful thought. Could they not travel go round the world? Would he give up his work for that that chance to break the spell? Dared she propose it? But would even that be anything more than a putting-off?
