“Betty, don’t you think you were an awful fool to come on a crazy trip like this?”

She smiled as if humoring him.

“Why do you say that, George?”

“Suppose folks should hear about it?”

“What then?”

“Betty—you—all alone on a yacht with me. What’ll folks think if they know?”

“They do know,” she said. “I told my folks and friends where I was going.”

“Yes, but you told them my sister was on board.”

“Certainly—as you told me.”
