indulgently at her as she rolled

he saw Gillian. He came quickly
to Gillian and there was an eager

wind on the seven seas had done
their work on Jon Hillyer. He
had flown around the world. He
had done about every reckless
thing, just, as he said, for the
thrill of it. But he knew now, as
he looked into Gillian's eyes, as
he saw the aureate wonder of her
hair, the glorious slimness of her
youthful body, that all those
thrills would pale before the Won
der of having her love; that, hold
ing her, he would hold heaven in
his arms; losing her, he would
lose the greatest desire his heart
had ever known.
