"She went swimming," said Aunt Caroline.
"Swimming!"
"Right off the yacht, William. Do you know that she's a very remarkable swimmer. I was completely astonished."
William went to the rail and surveyed the harbor. He saw no sign of a swimmer.
"Where is she?" he demanded.
"Oh, somewhere out there," said Aunt Caroline, with an easy gesture. "She's perfectly safe. Peter is with her."
"What!"
"They went swimming together. I wish you could have seen them, William. They were just like two children. They've been swimming all around among the yachts. Where they are now I haven't the least idea; but they'll be back."
Bill struck the rail savagely and once again glared out at the harbor. So this was the reason his secretary did not want to go ashore; she had an engagement to go swimming with his valet. But if Bill was disturbed, not so Aunt Caroline; she was once more absorbed in her magazine.
