"I don't know He's starting strong."

Three days the yacht plied the sunny seas, for Gersen three pleasant

days, though the hospitality came from a man he intended to kill.

There was an effortless quality to the hours, a dreamlike isolation,

and each person's characteristic style was intensified, becoming a

thing larger than life. Attitudes and rigidities relaxed: Hule allowed

his cowl to hang loose and finally discarded it altogether, Billika,

more tentatively, did the same, whereupon Zuly in a spirit of cool

mischief offered to arrange her hair. Billika hesitated, then, with a

sigh of hedonistic abandon, assented So Zuly shaped and clipped,

to accentuate Billika's pale, wide-eyed delicacy, to the amazement

of all the men aboard. Druidess Laidig cried out in anger, Druidess

Wust clicked her tongue, the two Druids were startled, but all the

others begged them not to browbeat the girl Such was the atmo-

sphere of ease and gayety that Druidess Laidig at last fell to laugh-

ing at Navarth, and Billika managed to slip away quietly Not long

after, Druidess Laidig allowed her own cowl to hang loose, as pres-

ently did Druid Dakaw Druid Pruitt and Druidess Wust held to

the full rigor of their habit, but tolerated the delinquency of the

others with no more than an occasional disparaging glance or mut-

tered sarcasm
