Orrek's eyes blazed as he tucked the small hand under his arm. How he loved her! In a few brief sentences he told her of the discontent among I his men. "It's the loneliness that ' gets them," he finished, "the lack of amusement." "If they walk out you cannot keep your contract. That will queer you with the owners."
