Eversham reported that she had a headache, and Falconer had very promptly dropped out of the party, leaving Billy with Lady Claire upon his hands, and so he went, and he and Lady Claire and the Evershams and about sixty other passengers had a brisk and busy day of it. When he returned just before dinner he saw Arlee, apparently headacheless, upon the deck of the steamer, chatting to Falconer.
Three days.... Three miserable, paltry, insufficient days, blighted by the chaperoning Evershams.... Frantically he hoped against his dark foreboding that one menace at least might be averted that by now Luxor would have ceased to shelter a certain sandy-haired young Englishman. Luxor was warm and drowsy with afternoon sun.
The Evershams were friends of theirs and were stopping at the same hotel, and since my friends were called back very suddenly, the Evershams asked me to go on to Egypt with them. It was very nice of them, for I'm a dreadful bother," said Arlee, dimpling. "But you speak of leaving them?" he said. "Oh, yes, I may do that as soon as some other friends of mine, the Maynards, reach here.
This might be modified in a day or two, but for the present they were too frightened to make exceptions. And they were going up the Nile Friday morning, Arlee remembered numbly. And this was Thursday night. "Did the Evershams did they answer my letter?" she said with dry lips. The Evershams, it seemed, had not been at the hotel.
"It's so wonderful for you to have done all this," she said with sudden shyness. "You had just met me " The things on Billy's tongue wouldn't do at all. None of them. What he did say was absurdly stiff and constrained. "You were my countrywoman and alone." "So are the Evershams," said Arlee, with sudden bubbling laughter, and then as suddenly checked herself.
