"I'm all right; it's stopped bleeding. Shall we?" he inquired, looking up at her. "You've got to wash your hair again, anyhow."
She said, feeling suddenly stupid and childish, and knowing she was speaking stupidly: "Would you not rather join Gladys again? I thought that—that—"
"Thought what?"
"Nothing," she said, furious at herself; "I am going to the showers. Good-bye."
"Good-bye," he said, troubled—"unless we walk to the pavilion together—"
"But you are going in again; are you not?"
"Not unless you do."
"W-what have I to do with it, Captain Selwyn?"
"It's a big ocean—and rather lonely without you," he said so seriously that she looked around again and laughed.
"It's full of pretty girls just now. Plunge in, my melancholy friend. The whole ocean is a dream of fair women to-day."
