Yours Ever

by Maysie Greig

Like a great silver bird in the moonlight the passenger plane rose slowly into the air, taking with it everything of glamour and enchantment Hugh Denham had ever known—Juliette, with her dancing blue eyes, red-gold hair and mischievous laughter. Hugh had been too busy making money to have much time for girls, but it is never too late to learn, and he soon found that the problems of high finance are as nothing compared to the complications of the tender passion. Juliette was the first girl he had ever loved, and he was soon following her to Bermuda, that sundrenched paradise for pleasure-seekers. But he made the beginner's mistake of taking with him his attractive, dark-haired secretary Ann! The latter, however, had the dangerous habit of writing her inmost thoughts to her favorite agony column which revealed her love for her boss, thus complicating an already touchy situation. Juliette, it developed, had gone to visit her uncle who enjoyed an ambiguous position on the yacht of Prince Gustav of Slavia, then resting in Bermudian waters. The yacht, to put it bluntly, was a gambling hell operated to relieve the rich "guests" of their surplus funds.
