T was the first time Sheldon had been at close quarters with an American girl. and he would have wondered if all American girls like Joan Lackland had he not it enough to realize that she was t all typical. Her quick mind and changing moods bewildered him. while her outlook on life was so dif. ferent from what be conceived a wo- man’s outlook should be that he was more often than not at sixes and sev- ens with her. He could never antici- pate what she would say or do next. Her temper was quick and stormy. and she relied too much on herself and too little on him. which did not ap- proximate at all to his ideal of wo- man’s conduct when a man was around. Her assumption of equality with him was disconcerting. and at times be half consciously resented the impudence and bizarreness of her in- trusion upon him. rising out of the sea in a bowling nor'wester. fresh from poking her revolver under Eric- son‘s nose. protected by her gang of huge Polynesian sailors and settling down in Berande like any shipwrecked sailor.

Had she been short hair- ed, heavy Jawed. large muscled. hard bitten and utterly uniovely in every way all would have been well, in- stead of which she was hopelessly and deliciously feminine.
