Excerpt
They were to sail at first light and there was quite a crowd waiting to board the Merrywinds. Patience looked up and saw a man in uniform standing beside he ship's railing. He was tall, stern and capable looking, as good looking as some of the posters the girls had seen of actors who played at the London theaters. He seemed completely unaware of this or any effect he might have had on the sea of humanity beneath him. His inattention mattered not; Patience's heart was gone, whether she willed it or not.
