Luke murmured, “Nora, be sure to set the dial before you leave the house.”

Veronica turned her attention from her adoring relatives. “And I want a tape of it sent to me. Nora is so dear. Regan told me that the two of you didn’t want me worrying about working on my life story while we were on the ship. That’s so thoughtful. Well, now we have a chance to spend time together.” She raised her glass. “To a wonderful month with my relatives and friends and a safe and exciting cruise home. Regan, do you think you’d like to see me back?”

Regan gasped. “Well, I-I-I don’t know, Veronica.” “Superintendent Livingston tells me that Penelope is dying to join you in New York. Maybe you should give her a chance.”

“You’re right, Regan. The poor dear has had a dreadful time because of me . . .”

“Just one thing,” Regan added. “Wam her to leave her recipe for tasty pasties home. They’d never allow it through customs.”
