.. All of a sudden, I felt dumber than road-kill. Here I'd devised, promoted and promised, and now I realized I hadn't the first idea where to stop on...the way home.This is not exactly a metropolitan area hereabouts. It's a good hour's drive to anything that calls itself a city and half again as much to anyplace that needs a traffic report."Now what am I going to do?" I asked myself. "I could buy something on-line, but that would take a few days. I'd hate to disappoint Gladys tonight and I sure. "Out for a morning walk?" Yeah, I like to walk in the morning after breakfast." Find anything interesting?" she asked."Enough driftwood and palm branches to make some nice bonfires for several nights."Mrs. Lee handed a large basket of food to Don and grabbed a second basket, then followed him to the hut. "I brought you more fruits, breads, and some meats. I know you told my husband you can catch fish, but I like to make sure you have enough food and I'm sure you're hungry." Not really, I. ”“Wait, Sandman?” Doctor Kalfou asked, clearly surprised. “Know the Sandman, you?”Sometimes Belita forgot that Sandman was as famous as she was, in his own way. “Aye, he was the Bosun I mentioned, the one that broke the harpoons. He became my First Mate for a couple years after that, but left about a year ago.”“Met him once, when I was younger, I” Doctor Kalfou said with a smile. “Was a student of my grandfather, he. Can’t think of anyone outside the family, I, that my grandfather spoke of with. And slowly ate my dinner.My dinner was interrupted by the door bell on the coach. "Who the hell could that be?" I thought as I turned on the outside camera. I was shocked by what I saw. A small child all bundled up and covered with snow. "What was he doing out in this weather at this time of night?" wandered through my brain.I rushed to the door and opened it. He was starting to fall down as I opened the door so I grabbed him in my arms. He was blue from the cold. I carried him into the bedroom.
