"I am with Keok and Nawadlook.
They have given me a home." And then swiftly she added, "I don't think you love your people more than I do, Alan Holt!" Nawadlook was approaching, and with a lingering touch of her fingers on his arm she drew away from him.

His face did not show his disappointment, nor did he make a movement to keep her with him.
"Your people are expecting things of you," she said.

"A little later, if you ask me, I may dance with you to the music of the tom-toms." He watched her as she went away with Nawadlook.

She looked back at him and smiled, and there was something in her face which set his heart beating faster.

She had been afraid aboard the ship, but she was not afraid of tomorrow.
