But there were worse things to face in the morning . Even though Diana postponed the evil hour by pretending she was ill and having her breakfast in bed , she could not stay in the cabin for ever . Once the first days of seasickness are over there is a rule against people stopping in their berths all day except under doctor 's orders , and the stewardesses are very rigid in enforcing this . Besides , the Captain and first officer inspect cabins between ten and eleven A.M. , and Diana had no particular yearning to see them again just then . April went down to breakfast as usual , outwardly composed , but with an eye secretly alert to spy out the land . It did not take her long to discover that all the women were in arms , with their stabbing knives ready for action . Mrs. Stanislaw had evidently not been idle , and the name of `` Lady Diana '' was already bracketed with that of the April Fool .
