Egyptian Honeymoon
“Like all emotions it needed stimulus to stoke it, and short of repeating her accusations, which seemed to have made no impression on him, the only course left to her was to retreat into dignified silence. One cannot have a row if one's opponent won't play, and a public dining room was not the place for altercations, as she had already been told.

There was a hum...orous gleam in his eyes as if he were well aware of her suppressed feelings. That they amused him added to her rancour, but she betrayed no outward sign of it.It helped that Marcia was not visible. The small dining saloon was full, and if she was there she was concealed by the other diners. Noelle had half expected that she would approach them and request a seat at their table, although it was only laid for two, but she had not done so, and Noelle began to wonder if her presence on board was in truth a coincidence, thereby lessening Steve's offence, but she was still convinced he had known Marcia was in the Cairo hotel, and he had had her in mind when he had taunted her about a more welcoming bed.MoreLess
