“You are most kind.” Before Jane had realised his intention he had moved across to where she stood, snatched her hand from her side and kissed it resolutely.

“I will tell my driver,” he informed her. “He will be back for me in ten minutes. He will continue the round until then.”

Jane hurried to make the tea and to pour the two cups full. She had no idea whether or not he preferred it weak or strong, milkless or with plenty of milk, sweet or otherwise, and just then she did not care.

When he returned he took a chair, after waiting until she was seated, and drank his tea with every sign of enjoyment. Yet all the time, and all the time he was telling her of the wonders of his country, his gaze remained fixed on her face and hair. And all the time Jane felt uncomfortable, as though she were already, in some strange way, on trial.

It was a relief when he rose to take his leave, the driver, a thickset, taciturn young man, having appeared at the door, knocked and gone back downstairs.

“I have so enjoyed our chat, Nurse,” Karl Brotnovitch informed her, clicking his heels and bowing. “Perhaps one evening, when neither of us is on duty,” again the chill smile, “you will allow me to escort you to one or other of the places of entertainment or education I have just talked about?”

“That would be ... very kind,” Jane managed. “Thank you.” She did not say she would go, and inwardly made a resolution to always have some form of duty ready, mentally at least. She didn’t want to go anywhere with Karl Brotnovitch, no matter how important he was. Yet at the same time there was something about the man she found fascinating, but it was with the fatal fascination the snake is said to hold for its prey!

“I’m being foolish!” she reminded herself as she heard him being driven away. “It’s all strange, that’s all it means. I’ll just have to remember what Dr. Lowth—and Ann—and now Brotnovitch have said, and leave Kevin Dean to play his own silly games. But at least,” her ever bubbling spirits revived suddenly as she recalled his obvious admiration of her colouring, “life in Seonyata promises to be diverting, if nothing else!”
