"Now, be good boys, and be careful of the surf."

Harvey patted her hand. "All right, mother. Don't sit home and worry. Bye,

now."

"Bye-bye, son," she said and, smiling, stepped back, her little hand raised

to wave.

Damien stepped on the throttle. The engine rumbled and they rolled away. He smiled at Harvey Stokes.

"You look elegant."

"You're late," Harvey said. "Can't you ever get anyplace on time?"

Damien laughed. "The law of averages must be building up to something." The wheel slid under his hands. They turned a corner. "Anyway, we've got a whole weekend at Laguna stretching out ahead of us. Hours and hours." He sighed. "What a relief to get out of that house. You can't imagine the quantities of reproachful glances."

"Is that all?"

"No. It's back to the analyst on Monday." Damien gestured at the instrument panel. “Light me one, will you?”

Harvey opened the glove compartment, took out a pack of Benson & Hedges, lit one and gave it to Damien.

The marble lips and eyes smiled. "Thanks."

"What's to grin about?" Harvey growled.

"Just wondering about your new problem child at the Y. Did he show up as expected?"

"You bitch!" Harvey exploded. Then he began to laugh. "You shameless, unprincipled bitch!" He put his hands around Damien's throat and pretended to strangle him.

Damien turned his laughing face. "If you don't take your hands off me," he said, "we'll never get to Laguna."
