“I would not dream of doing anything of the sort,” he said. “That would deprive you of your ‘hope.’ I know that is more important to you than anything else.”

She was surprised that he had remembered their conversation, and said:

“I have a feeling—and because of my Celtic blood my feelings are often right—that Hawaii will not only live up to my expectations and hopes, but exceed them!”

“That is exactly what I hope too,” the Earl said.

Without saying any more he walked away and left her, and she stared after him a little puzzled.

There had been a serious note in his voice that was inescapable, and she wondered what he was hoping for and why it was so important to him.

‘He has everything,’ she thought to herself, ‘and Heloise!’

She knew if she thought of the Earl and Heloise together there was a sharp little pain within her breast which she tried to ignore, but which seemed to grow, day by day.

“No couple could be more suited to each other,” she kept telling herself. “He is so handsome and she so beautiful!”

Then some critical voice at the back of her mind asked her if beauty alone would ever be enough for somebody like the Earl.

“Of course it will,” she insisted, “and Heloise will grace the Royston diamonds as no other woman could possibly do. When he sees her at the head of the table he will know that she is exactly the right wife, who those who admire him would have chosen for him.”

She was thinking of the Earl when she was joined by the young officer who had sat next to her at dinner the first night they arrived.

“I want to talk to you, Miss Westbury,” he said.

“What about?” Lydia enquired.
