It was not until they had reached the coffee and cigarette stage that he reverted to the avowed object of her visit to the yacht. "It was really rather a sporting attempt on your part," he remarked, "even though foredoomed to failure. Will you tell me" curiously "what induced you to do it?"

Kitty was startled for a moment, but it was only La Signorina. Kitty furtively wiped her eyes. "I am over here by the window. The moon was so bright I did not light the lamp." La Signorina moved with light step to the window, bent and caught Kitty's face between her hands and turned it firmly toward the moon. "You have been crying, cara!" "I am very lonely," said Kitty.
Cara grieved and fretted over the loss of his little companion, but his mother told him, in camel language, that had Camer's mother taught her to close her nostrils in a proper manner during a simoom, she would not have died. As it was, the hot, acrid sand had suffocated the poor little thing.

She stared at him almost incredulously. "I believe you're sorry," she said slowly. But in that she miscalculated. Brett would be an unrepentant sinner to the end of his days. He laughed and shook his head. "Not in the way you mean.
