“Not a chance!” he laughed.

“Some of the people on the ship don’t even believe in lady preachers,” Katie argued.

“Give ’em a good dose of fire and brimstone,” Barney teased. “And you’ll—” He stopped when he saw Pearl DeLaughter enter.

“Hello, Pearl,” he said, pulling out a chair for her. “Can I get you some coffee?”

“That would be nice.”

After Barney left for the galley, Pearl said, “You and Barney are getting quite close, I see.”

Katie’s cheeks turned pink. “Well,” she laughed, “he saved my life, so I think I’ll always be in his debt.”

“He’s not as good-looking as Andy, is he?”

“Not many men are.”

“That’s right. Are you interested in him?”

Katie had recognized from the first that Pearl was rather blunt, and that she took a great interest in the single members of the group. “I’m interested in being a good missionary right now. How’s Tobe?”

“Oh, he’s fine,” Pearl said absently.

“I’ve worried a little about him,” Katie frowned. “I hope he doesn’t have any of those attacks he had in New York.”

“I don’t expect—oh, here’s Barney.”

“Sugar and cream. That right?” he said as he placed the coffee before her.

“Just right. Thank you, Barney.” She smiled at him warmly. “You’ll spoil me.” She sipped the coffee as she studied him over her coffee cup. “I’ve been talking with Katie about you. We’ve decided that you’re not nearly as eligible as Andy.”

Barney grinned. “Aside from the fact that he’s better looking and smarter and knows how to make women happy, I don’t see why you should even voice such a thing. And remember, if a girl gets a fellow like that, some hussy is likely to run off with him. A girl wouldn’t have to worry about that if she got me.”
