Is Her Ladyship awake?

Yes, Milord. I'm just going to take in her breakfast.

Thank you.

May I come in?

Isn't this terrible? When you think how excited Lucy Rothfuss was at the prospect. It's too awful for any words. Did J.J. Aster get off? Of course, that new wife of his has bound to have been rescued.

I've had a telegram from George Murray. One of his partners is in New York.

Yes?

It seems James and Patrick were on board.

What? They can't have been. They weren't going over till May.

Then they changed their plans. They're definitely on the passenger list.

Thank you, O'Brien, that'll be all for the moment. But surely they were picked up?

It doesn't look like it.

What?

Neither of them? You must tell Mary. She can't hear about it from anyone else.
