Cameron scanned the girl quickly, suddenly aware that something more than a whim was at the bottom of her hurried departure.
"What is it, Pansy?" he asked.

The next morning Le Breton set about his scheme for trapping Pansy.
The task appeared easy. He would get one of his men to note when she left the hotel and mark which route she took.

They would take her across the island to a little port on the far side, where his yacht would be waiting. Once he had her safely on board, he would start for Africa.
As he sat at breakfast, savage and brooding, craving for the girl who had flouted him, one of his servants entered.
