Then she came over to where I was sitting and put a hand on my shoulder. I'd have got to my feet if I hadn't been afraid to face her. "Percy--" she began, and I felt the fingers on my shoulder quiver.
I don't think the Apaches handed out anything much worse in the torture line than the quiver of a woman's ringers upon your shoulder, when you know that those fingers aren't quivering on your account. Maybe that occurred to her, for a second later she took her hand away. "You once said something foolish to me, Percy," she said.
I nodded my head, my eyes upon an edge of the Royal Bokhara. "It was in a canoe, wasn't it?" I replied. "There was a moon, of course, and the paddle blades went drip, drip.
"
"You meant what you said then, didn't you?"
My gaze was wavering from the rug by now. Little wonder, was it? "I meant it all right," I got out after a while. "Do you want to hear me say my little speech over again?" Was it possible that, after all, Natica Drayton had really decided to toss Jack over, and take on a fag, warranted kind and gentle, able to be driven by any lady? But I forgot that foolish notion pretty nearly right off.
