HEY were leaning over the
side of an old green-painted
boat, just off a rocky island
that lies not more than
half a mile away from the

land. It was late afternoon, and even the

waves seemed to be sleepy. The water
was very clear, and they could see the
shifting of the brown weeds that covered
the rocks at the bottom. Doris, on her
part, declared that she had caught glimpses
of more than one fish down there, and the

Visitor was envying her good fortune and

leaning over the side in the hope that he

might presently come to share it.
