And I grew to loving it as much as Milo did.

We had a beautiful life here, he and I and the cordial, lovable people who became our friends.

It was last spring that Rodney Hade came to see us.

Milo had known him, slightly, down here, years ago.

He came back here--nobody knows from where, and rented a house, the other side of Coconut Grove, and brought his yacht down to Miami Harbor.
Almost right away, he seemed to gain the queerest influence over Milo.
