In the pantry she permitted herself the luxury of a grin and after she slid the broiled pompano from the grill to the fish plates she let off more steam by a pirouette that a premiere danseuse might have envied.

Harris was the first to step to land; some ten of the party followed him.
"And that squally wind develops into something stronger, I guess?" pursued the Northern boy, always seeking to learn.
