The Stranger TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text Mrs. John Hammond! He gave a long sigh of content and leaned back, crossing his arms. The strain was over. He felt he could have sat there for ever sighing his relief--the relief at being rid of that horrible tug, pull, grip on his heart. The danger was over. That was the feeling. They were on dry land again.<br><br>But at that moment Janey's head came round the corner.<br><br>"Darling--do you mind? I just want to go and say good-bye to the doctor."<br><br>Hammond started up. "I'll come with you."<br><br>"No, no!" she said. "Don't bother. I'd rather not. I'll not be a minute."<br><br>And before he could answer she was gone. He had half a mind to run after her; but instead he sat down again.<br><br>Would she really not be long? What was the time now? Out came the watch; he stared at nothing. That was rather queer of Janey, wasn't it? Why couldn't she have told the stewardess to say good-bye for her? Why did she have to go chasing after the ship's doctor? She could have sent a note from the hotel even if the affair had been urgent. Urgent? Did it--could it mean that she had been ill on the voyage--she was keeping something from him? That was it!
