As the day comes stealing over the desert I sit up in my bed and write to you. The night has been so hot that everybody slept on deck, and around me are dozens of slumbering women: the white outline of their bedding looks so weird and ghost-like in the dim dawn! I wish I were asleep too, I wish I were not so restless and excited, I wish I could forgive Dick for advertising that he would not be responsible for my debts. There is a woman on this ship that I envy with all my heart: she is twenty-three, just a year older than I am, and she is married to a gay, handsome being who is undoubtedly a handful. I could not hold him for six months, but his wife is a big, gallantlooking girl who is very fond of him, and yet OLaura! if he follows any will-o -the-wisp fancies, if he tries her forbearance too far, she will never forgive him. And he knows it.
