The fingers of Sheba were busy with the embroidery upon which she worked, but her thoughts were full of the man who lay asleep on the lounge. His strong body lay at ease, relaxed. Already health was flowing back into his veins. Beneath the tan of the lean, muscular cheeks a warmer color was beginning to creep.
"Is it possible?" cried Alice, "that Maude has never been here?" "It is a lamentable fact." "She won't come now." "I'll fetch her, hand-cuffed, if necessary."
