I had dropped upon my sofa -- I felt faint . The man went on , liking to talk , as persons of his class do when they have something horrible to tell . She usually rang for the stewardess early , but this morning of course there had been no ring . The stewardess had gone in all the same about eight o'clock and found the cabin empty . That was about an hour ago . Her things were there in confusion -- the things she usually wore when she went above . The stewardess thought she had been rather strange last night , but she waited a little and then went back .
