Later in the afternoon the sun went down. Dexter watched the gentle waves in the light wind from the balcony of the golf club. Then he put on his swimming costume and swam out to the farthest raft, where he stretched on the wood. There were fish jumping, a star shining and the lights around the lake were gleaming. On the dark peninsula, someone was playing the songs of the last two summers on a piano and, because the sound of a piano over a stretch of water had always seemed beautiful to Dexter, he lay perfectly quiet and listened.

The tune was happy and recent. It reminded Dexter of the face years ago, when he had been at college. They had played it at a dance once, when he could not afford the luxury of dances and he had stood outside the gymnasium and listened. The music produced a feeling of great happiness within him. It was a mood of appreciation, a sense that, for once, he was in tunes with life and that everything was producing a brightness and glamour he might never know again.

A low pale rectangle suddenly removed itself from the darkness of the island, spitting forth the sound of a racing motor-boat. Two white streams of water rolled themselves out behind it and almost immediately the boat was beside him drowning out the sound of the piano. Dexter, raising himself on his arms, was aware of a figure standing at the wheel.”Who’s that?” she called shutting off her motor. She was so near now that Dexter could see her bathing costume, which seemed to be pink.

The nose of the boat hit the raft, and as the raft tilted he was pushed towards her and with different degrees of interest they recognized each other. “Aren’t you one of those men we played golf with this afternoon?” she demanded. He was. “Well, do you know how to drive a motor boat? Because if you do, I wish you’d drive this one so I can ride on the surf-board behind. My name is Judy Jones “ – she favored him with a smile, it was merely beautiful – “and I live in a house over there on the island.”

Dexter sat beside Judy Jones and she explained how her boat was driven. Then she was in the water, swimming to the floating surf-board. Watching her was without effort to the eye, her arms moving her gracefully through the water.

They moved out over the lake. Turning, Dexter saw that she was now kneeling on the low rear of the now tilted surf –board. ”Go faster,” she called, “fast as it’ll go”. Obediently, he jammed the lever forward and the white water came over the front of the boat. When he looked around again the girl was standing up on the rushing board, her arms spread wide, her eyes lifted towards the moon.”It‘s awfully cold, “she shouted. ”Why don’t you come to dinner tomorrow night?” His heart turned over like the wheel of the boat, and the moment he accepted her invitation, he felt as though his life had been given a new direction.
