“I came back to see you.”
“But the yacht! Your ship!”
“She has left.”
“No! She mustn’t! Not without you! You can’t stay here. It’s too dangerous.”
“I must. They think I’m aboard. I left a note for papa. He won’t get it until they’re at sea. And they can’t come back for me, can they?”
“No—yes—they must! I must see Stark and Wisner at once.”
“To send me away?”
“Yes.”
“Without forgiving me?”
“Forgiving? There’s no question of that between you and me.”
