Hope raised her eyes and looked up at him in silence, and had the man in the wheelhouse been watching the stars, as he should have been, no one but the two foolish young people on the bow of the boat would have known her answer.

The s.h.i.+p's bell sounded eight times, and Hope moved slightly.

"So late as that," she sighed. "Come. We must be going back."

His voice seemed to be a part of the murmuring sea and the welcoming winds.
