THE HIGH PRICE OF FAME
Michelle became a constant in those weeks, basking in
the shame-ridden celebrity that had been created around
Lucy. "What is it?"
"Can't you see? Together, down there; you and I!… As my wife!
Both of us, never to be lonely again!… Will you marry me, Ruth?"
As many a wiser woman had done, Ruth mistook thrilling eagerness for love. However, no one had discovered me, so I contrived
to drag myself to my horse. There was a pause, and then the front door slammed. She feared he might take her tears as a sign of
weakness. I'm ready to bear it all. This heroine ruled an island which (in the '80s) was rich with shell—pearl-shell;
and she fought pearl thievers and marauding beachcombers, fought them with
weapons and with woman's guile.
