Within "a few minutes she was ON The dock
aHd Terry Chhtern. absurdy large and mascu-
inc m scanty shorts and blue open-neckcd
polo shirt was hugging her 20 HIM
Kay darling it's grand to- see YOU. one
whole year IL seems like century
laughing Kay diseu'an1lcd herself and
looked at this twcnty-ycar-old boy who
though only eight years younger than she
WAS rIdiculously her nephew I'm q Nay she
could see mIrrored in Terys face all the
eventnu things that had happened 10 the
Chiltems during the last twelve months when
She had been p. cd from them by the rigor-
GUS demands nrr drcss-designinE job with
a Hollywood studio.
The final collapse OF Gilbert Chiltems
never very dependable income and the tragic
paraly,ic stroke which had permanently in
validod him had left their mark on his son.
There was the same frank, mobile face, the
same long rangY limbs But Terry,s body
had filled oul and his eyes had the steadiness
OF "A mans
well" he said amuscdly Edo I pass
muster?"
With flying colors one attractive, dan
eereus, not-too-yoWne nephew
And ono attractive dangerous. much-too-
young aunt. Terry slid his arm around her
waist Lets cope with the Customs Flames

Indifferent TO approisng feminine glances,
Terry drew her through the crowd Of tourists
to corner marked w. In successfully short
time he had disarmed a customs official into
passing her baggage unopened and had cor
rallied porter.
I nc came back TO her grinning Let's get
y out of this dump" Suddenly the grin
went. II guess you want the latest bulletin
the family romance The glamorous bride
grooms having last fling in New York, but
he'll be back tomorrow. The weddings set
for Tuesday You better brush up on your
bouquet holding technique because you're
slated for Maid OF Honor
As he spoke Kay glanced at him anxiously.
But she was almost certain from his face
that he knew nothing OF her own relationship
with Ivor Then Ivor for some tortuous rea-
son of his own had>not told the Chilterns of
the episode which she had always been so care
ful to keep from them. That was a comfort
And Ivor would not be in Bermuda until
tomorrow, That was comfort too.
They had reached the dazzling sunshine of
Front street now and were threading their
way past parked bicycles and buggies with
white-Coated drivers and calm bnkered
horses wearing ralush straw hats. Kay saw
trtflrur,t- rt~f'rriTft-si taes~-es+ie-e

Of tho liners gigantic bulk showed the small,
blacktipped funnel of the Somerset ferry,
This was Ivor's Bermuda just as she re-
membcrcd it, bright leisurcly. remote from
the world.
And the sight OF IT swung back the flood
gates Of memory Sunshine on white coral
streets Ivor's little brown speedboat rush-

the taste Of salt spray on her lips Ivors
dclirious crazy love-maknE and always the
sharp. nostalgia scent Of cedarwood and the
heavy sweetness Of oleanders
Suddenly it seemed Incredible that she was
here in BSfmuda with Terry that he should
be talking about Ivors wedding 10 Elaine
And she Kay Vineyard a Maid of Honor
THE porter umhcfed ahead with the bag
gage on truck. Terry guided Kay along
the crowded sidewalk past the little railroad
terminal toward the cement public dock.
The boats here he said complete with
Elaine and boatplan.'

Of hiring a boat for me
