`` Yes . I promised to meet the Youngest Twin Sailor down at the striped rocks tomorrow afternoon , but the day after will do just as well . That is the beauty of the rock people , you know . You can always depend on them to be there just when you want them . The Youngest Twin Sailor wo n't mind -- he 's very good-tempered . If it was the Oldest Twin I dare say he 'd be cross . I have my suspicions about that Oldest Twin sometimes . I b ` lieve he 'd be a pirate if he dared . You do n't know how fierce he can look at times . There 's really something very mysterious about him . '' On her way back to the hotel Miss Trevor remembered the foolscap book . `` I must get him to show it to me , '' she mused , smiling . `` Why , the boy is a born genius -- and to think he should be a shore boy ! I ca n't understand it . And here I am loving him already . Well , a woman has to love something -- and you do n't have to know people for years before you can love them . '' Paul was waiting on the Noel 's Cove rocks for Miss Trevor the next afternoon . He was not alone ; a tall man , with a lined , strong-featured face and a grey beard , was with him . The man was clad in a rough suit and looked what he was , a ` longshore fisherman . But he had deep-set , kindly eyes , and Miss Trevor liked his face .
He moved off to one side when she came and stood there for a little , apparently gazing out to sea , while XXXXX and Miss Trevor talked .
