one. And there were dangers enough already.
Highly dangerous, Jean reflected in the back of his head as he backed
out with a bow. A young girl unafraid of the morning sun and sitting
at a little breakfast table as fresh as herself - that was a picture for

`There is no reason why we should not wed.'
`Then for God's sake,' he answer'd, `both our sakes,
