The Capricorna shuddered into life once more. Distant shouts and a sound of activity penetrated the quiet of her cabin. At least she no longer needed to vacillate between the duty of telling Sir James and the sympathy with the lovers which held her silent.Even as she made this discovery, she became aware of some subtle change in her surroundings.

Then, leaning her head on her hand, she shut her eyes and tried to see the situation as it now was.The responsibility had become entirely hers.
