"The lucky man!"
Her face clouded.
"Poor Pinky is feeling the motion of the boat a little. It's his first
voyage."
"I shall always remember that it was Pinky who first brought us
together. Would you care for a stroll on deck?"
"Not just now, thanks. I must be getting back to my room to finish
unpacking. After lunch, perhaps."
"I will be there. By the way, you know my name, but...."
"Oh, mine?" She smiled brightly. "It's funny that a person's name is the
last thing one thinks of asking. Mine is Bennett."
"Bennett!"
"Wilhelmina Bennett. My friends," she said softly as she turned away,
"call me Billie!"

little dizzy when he is called upon suddenly and without any warning to
readjust all his preconceived views on any subject.
