DINNER was served just before blast-off. The captain had trouble concentrating on his soup. Every time he raised his spoon Miss Brown kept getting in his eyes.
Dr. Langley was bewildered. He kept looking at Miss Pomeroy and Miss Staunton, and then at Miss Brown. After awhile he confined himself to Miss Brown.
Mr. Smithers was still preoccupied with his soup when the main course was served. He relinquished it finally and transferred his attention to the braised beef. The mashed potatoes came around on schedule and he served himself with a moderate helping. For some annoying reason the gravy was delayed. His eyes explored the table and discovered it just beyond Miss Brown's plate. "Please pass the gravy, Miss Brown," he said.
She handed it to him gracefully. She was smiling.
She was beautiful!
Mr. Smithers almost dropped the gravy. He managed to save it at the last moment, but he couldn't save himself.
"You look lovely tonight, Miss Brown," he said.
