description: Stella was upset by the sudden news that John Marbury was about to sell the Cormorant Hotel. She had a strong feeling of personal loyalty towards the place where she had worked for several years as a secretary. And besides, it was tacitly agreed that she and John would eventually get married. Although John stayed on at the Cormorant as manager, the arrival of the new owner changed everything. A well-known explorer, Nicholas Darrington also had definite ideas about running the hotel. To make the situation even worse, John was very off-hand about the whole affair. He was paying more and more attention to one of the hotel guests, a wealthy and attractive young widow. He said he was hoping to repurchase the hotel, but Stella couldn't help wondering whether that was the whole story.
