Besides, I never thought there was anything wrong." |

"Good. Then Gertrude will be fine. And we can come back and see Aunt Em safely to her suite. Then we'll be sure she's safe and sound, too. Now you can forget about it. What shall we do? Have a drink? See the movie?" |

Linda simply glared at him. Finally she gained sufficient control of her voice not to scream. "Just forget the whole thing and everything will be fine, eh?" she remarked gently. "Fine and dandy. Oh, yeah! Do you know that someone was watching and listening when Donald met me on the deck this evening?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"You didn't say anything to me about intending to meet Donald." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Don't be a fool, Peter. We met by accident. The important thing is that someone was hiding in the shadows by the chairs, spying on us. Should we warn Donald?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Hmm? You're beautiful. Let's take a walk around the deck." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Peter! Is Donald in danger? Should we warn him?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"No. I'll swear by anything you like that Donald is in no danger at all. Linda, please stop worrying at this business. It's annoying and perhaps even frightening for you, but I'm sure no one is in real danger. Darling, it's important that you try to put it out of your mind and act naturally. Please try." |
