‘They’ve stopped,’ said Margaret.

‘What?’ asked Abigail.

‘They’re falling behind.’

Abigail looked through the small panes of glass and said, ‘Oh, gods, no!’ Her eyes began to brim with tears, but she forced back her urge to cry. ‘What will we do?’

‘We go now!’ said Margaret as she hurried to unfasten her gown. Pulling at the laces up the front, she was about to let it fall from her shoulders when the door opened and Arjuna stepped into the cabin.

‘Ladies, I advise keeping your clothes on. Seeing you naked would distract my men.’

He signed and two large, black-clad sailors entered. Arjuna said, “They will watch you awhile, until even one as rash as you, Lady Margaret, wouldn’t risk swimming through such a distance of shark-infested water. Then they will remove the nails and you can once again have fresh air in this cabin.’

He smiled, turned, and left. Abigail sat down and looked at her friend. Margaret gave her a nod and smile, for she knew the girl was forcing herself to bear up and not give in to the urge to break down in tears. Slowly Margaret relaced the bodice of her gown, staring out the window at the rapidly diminishing ship.
