The Reef
Authorship not stated
You are George Darrow, pulled off the boat train to Dover by a telegram from Anna Leath, the widow you hope to marry, asking you not to come after all. At the station you recognize Sophy Viner, a former lady's companion short of her fare to Paris, lend her the money, and end up crossing the Channel beside her instead. Three days become a private arrangement neither of you explains to anyone absent, until Anna's stepson steps off a train and finds you together.
