certain at any rate: it would be Irene Marmara who stood smiling radiantly at Philip's side all evening and not Kate Walsh.

As Kate made her way down the winding path to the reception centre she heard the muted hum of a large party gradually warming up. A sudden thump followed by a whizzing shriek made her jump back in alarm, until she realised that it was only the start of the fireworks display. A rocket exploded overhead in a shower of pink and green sparks, lighting up the dark blue sea and sending magical flickers of colour over the white buildings ahead. Somewhere in front of her she could hear the wild rhythmic clapping that generally accompanied a Greek dancing display, and for no accountable reason her spirits suddenly lifted. Never mind about Irene or Philip. The smartest thing she could do tonight was simply to relax and enjoy herself. Hitching her camera strap more firmly on to her shoulder, she marched boldly forward to the side-door of the reception centre.

'Yasu, Kate.'

'Ya,' said Kate, grateful to see a familiar face.

It was Dorothea Zografou, the deputy manager of the hotel, dressed in a long, shimmering pink gown with a spray of orchids on her left shoulder and her greying brown hair swept into a smart chignon. However, Kate noticed that Dorothea still wore her small hotel identity- badge, clipped to her right shoulder.

'Dorothea,' she entreated, 'can you tell me where I should be? Philip did say something about my being an official photographer tonight, but he hasn't told me what photos to take or where to go. I don't even know if I'm meant to be attending the guests' dinner or not.'

Dorothea frowned thoughtfully.

'You were certainly on the guest list,' she said, 'although not at the official table, of course. Just a moment, Kate.'She moved across to a side-table laden with flowers and picked up a seating plan.
