Next day they promised themselves a lazy time in the sun.

'I could happily stay here for ever,' Dante said, stretching out luxuriously. 'Who cares about work?'

It was at that exact moment that a voice nearby called, 'Ciao, Dante!'

He started up, looked around, then yelled, 'Gino!'

Ferne saw a man in his fifties, dressed in shirt and shorts, advancing on them with a look of delight on his broad face.

'Is that...?'

'Gino Tirelli,' Dante said, jumping up.

When the two men had clapped each other on the shoulder, Dante introduced Ferne.

'Always I am pleased to meet English people,' Gino declared. 'At this very moment, my house is full of important English people.'

'So that's why you asked me to delay my arrival,' Dante said. 'Who've you got there? Members of the government?'

'A film company,' Gino said in an awed voice. 'They're making a film of Antony and Cleopatra and shooting some scenes in the ruins in my grounds. The director is staying with me, and of course the big star.'

'And who is the big star?' Ferne asked, suitably wide-eyed.

Before Gino could reply there was a squeal from behind them, and they all turned to see a young man of about thirty with curly, fair hair and a perfectly tanned body strolling along the beach in a careless way, suggesting that he was unaware of the sensation he created.

But he was fully aware of it, as Ferne knew. Sandor Jayley always knew exactly what effect he was creating.

'Oh no!' she breathed.

'What is it?' Dante asked her in a low voice. 'Good grief, it's--?'

'Tommy Wiggs.'

The young man came closer, pulling off a light shirt and tossing it to a companion, revealing a muscular body sculpted to perfection, now wearing only a minuscule pair of trunks. Regarding him grimly, Dante was forced to concede one thing: as Ferne had said, he did have magnificent thighs.

'I've got to get out of here before he sees me,' she muttered. 'That'll really put the cat among the pigeons.'

But it was too late. Sandor had seen his host and was starting up the beach towards him, doing a well-honed performance of bonhomie.

'Gino,' he called. Then, as he saw Ferne, his expression changed, became astonished, then delighted. 'Ferne! My darling girl!'

Arms open wide, he raced across the sand and, before she could get her thoughts together, she found herself enfolded in a passionate embrace.

It was an act, she thought, hearing the cheers around them. For some reason he'd calculated that this would be useful to him so he was taking what he wanted, selfishly indifferent to the effect it might have on her. For she was terrified in case she reacted in the old way, the way she now hated to remember.

Nothing happened. There was no pleasure, no excitement. Nothing. She wanted to shout to the heavens with joy at being free again!
