Crying, she fell asleep at last
with her head pillowed on
Steve's shoulder and his arm
around her holding her close.
She slept until three o'clock
when they drove into Los An

Pershing Square.
A sleepy doorman came to

She was beside herself, al
most. She lay, sobbing, across

Steve opened the door and
came into the light from the
little salmon-pink lamp beside
the bed.

She nodded and they drove
away, leaving the doorman to

look in his sleepy eyes.
Down through Chinatown
they went to the railroad sta

and checked her bags there.
Then they got into the car
once more and went back

tore open the yellow envelope.
But her lips were dry and
stiff as she spoke, and there
was a lump Of fear and terror
in her throat. She unfolded
the telegram and read it:

The next thing she knew she

double bedroom at the west end

distant boom Of the ocean and
she could smell the flowers just
outside her windows.
Then she opened her eyes and
found Steve's eyes fixed on

In a moment she was alert.
She sat up on the bed, her eyes
sweeping the room in search Of
the telegram.
What time did that thing
