After being chased through the streets of Paris, Harry wanted very much to get out of Paris and France altogether. He was grateful to be on a boat crossing the channel to England. He wanted to quietly remain in England and look like just another bum. His arm was in a sling and he was feeling kind of faint, when he felt someone touch his arm. He turned to see a girl with wide gray eyes and dark lashes that spilled over her cheeks. She says "Excuse me. I've been watching you. Are you all right?" Harry says "Oh yes, I'm okay, thanks". She says "You don't look like it. Why don't you go downstairs?" Harry says "No thanks, I like the air". She says "It's so calm today, you can't be seasick. Your arm painful? I see you've got it in the sling. Are you sure there's nothing I can get you?" Harry says "No really, thanks, you're very kind but I'm all right". She asks "Are you in pain with that arm?" Harry says "It's not too good, but I'll be okay. Don't you worry about me". She says "Well, at least, sit down one of these chairs and let me find a steward and order you a drink or some tea. Oh please, let me do something for you. You really look all in". Harry didn't know how it was, but he felt better by her being around. Harry told her he had been involved in some tricky business negotiations and how the anxiety of it had made him exhausted. She says "What you need is a few weeks rest without any worries, without anybody chasing after you". Harry says "Chasing after? Oh yes, business associates you mean". She says "Life is so full of worries these days for everyone. You ought to come and stay in the village where I live. It's sleepy and quiet. Nothing ever happens there". Harry says "That sounds perfect. It will just suit me. What is your name?" She says "Helen".
