That night when all the hotel was in darkness and silence reigned Andreat and Trevor stood together by the cop Ing at the edge of the cliff and looked across the moonlit bay to the far-away line of the sea. Behind them was the dark, massed shadow of the Bougain. ville trellis; at their feet and before them stretched an bpen world, bathed In kindly and opalescent light. Andrea's eyes started at the top of the zigzag path and followed It dellb. erately down the cliff-side until they reached and uwept the gleaming cres cent of the beach; then they rose and ' stared at the placid moon. Nine weeks, no morc, had passed since last s this scene lind held her, yet into then was packed tihe germ of all her life almost to the exciusion of preceding muemories. She felt a welling with1 her of all the major emiotions andi frightened, turned from them to hide her face against Trevor's shoulder. Her arms slipped up around his neck and clung to him. "Oh.
