But a moment later I was reassured; a voice called to me, and I saw her some thirty yards away, down on the sea-beach.

I set down pasty and jug and turned to watch.
Then I perceived what went on; white feet were visible in the shallow water, twinkling in and out as the tide rolled up and back.
"I had best employ myself in making breakfast ready," said I, turning my back.

But she called out to me again, saying how delightful was the cool water.

So I looked, and saw her gay and merry.

Her hat was in her hand now, and her hair blew free in the breeze.
