"It seems scarcely in the world at all. The sea cuts you off from everything you know; it would have been nothing if we had come by rail." They walked on in silence, the blue waves beside them curling a crisp white on the smooth sands. "Pappy," said she, at length, "I suppose if I lived here for six months no one in England would know anything about me?
You're almost surely right about Kit being in the hotel to watch Peterson. No doubt he was acting for men who have the power to trouble Mrs. Sands. Don't look at me like a wild cat! I shan't tell what you don't want to hear, but there certainly are such men. Most likely Peterson followed us into the Sands' apartment without being noticed in the wild confusion of your fainting.

Ellis telephoned Tish that the grand-stand was sold out and that almost all the parking-places that had been reserved were taken. Charlie Sands came home to luncheon with a curious smile on his face. "How are you betting, Aunt Tish?" he asked. "Betting!" "Yes. Has Ellis let you in on the betting?" "I don't know what you are talking about," Tish said sourly. "Mr.
