"We'll be there in an hour."
I hung up. I felt unutterably relieved. We boarded the ferry.
"What do you propose to do next?" I asked Alan.
"Get our car—come back tonight."
"With Nanette?"
"Yes. I know how you feel. That fellow Turber—this weird thing—"
"No time to leave Nanette alone. I wish she weren't there now."
"We'll be there shortly. When we come back, you'll stay in the car with her," Alan directed.
While he was meeting Charlie at the tennis court gate? I did not fancy so inactive a role.
"It's best, Ed. Only one of us should go in. With both of us, the chance of being discovered would be greater. Besides, we daren't leave Nanette."
