When Vera went back to her flat after seeing them off for their honeymoon at Victoria station, she found a. wedding present waiting for her: the deeds of Jim King’s old house at Taunton with all its furniture and effects. And there was a little note from Pete: “Dearest, ask us to come and spend a week-end with you when we return.” When Alfred and his wife left the boat at Calais, Pete asked for the first time where they were going. He took her arm and led her to the end of the . quay, where a long, low, blue Bugatti was waiting. He sat at the wheel and she beside him. “There is always one journey in life . one should take without knowing where one is going,” he said. Pie started the engine, slipped in the gear and opened the throttle. “We’ll just [ push off, beloved, blindly, and unless , my luck’s dead out we shall run into r fairyland!” ; (The End.)
