- A little. Not yet well enough to leave her cabin.

- What a shame.

- Here's a copy of the radiogram you sent for your wife last evening.

- Thank you. I'll just check it over... But look here...

- What? What's the matter? Did the typist make a mistake?

- No. No, it's nothing important. She can correct it later.

- For a moment I had a feeling that Hermione had been leaning over my shoulder again, correcting what I had written, as she always did.

- I had written a radiogram to Professor Good enough and his wife...

- 'Haven't been out of my cabin the whole beastly trip. Hubert well.'

- 'Now doubt we'll be back for Christmas.' But the operator had left out the 'w' and it read 'No doubt we'll be back for Christmas.'

- Exactly what Hermione would have written!

- The rest of the trip was uneventful.

- Professor and Mrs. Schumacher. We have reservations, I believe.

- Oh, yes. We've been expecting you, sir.
