gently rocked by waves which scur tied before the wind across the sur face of the lake the warmth the gentle motion the whispering sound of the water induced a state of drowsy contentment she found it increasingly difficult to concentrate upon problems and eventualities though that was what she had gone there to do not that problems were pressing they seemed to retreat farther into the hazy distance with each day that she spent at the lake she was active from the hour of their early breakfast until the inevitable moment when her eyes dropped over a magazine the parchesi board or the word
