Chapter X
A SHARP ENCOUNTER The _Tempest Queen_ carried a merry cargo. The young officers, the Americans and rich pleasure seekers from other lands--young and old--made up a happy company. Of all on board, but one was despised and loathed by his fellow-travellers--Lord Huntingford. Not so much for his manner toward them as for his harsh, bitter attitude toward his young wife. He reprimanded and criticised her openly, very much as he would have spoken to a child, and always undeservedly.
