I don't know about Paxton, but sleep didn't come to me for a long time that night. And then I didn't sleep well. It was a long, long night.
I opened my eyes in the morning and went to the window. The sun's light came into the bedroom. It was late. I looked at the trees. It was a beautiful April day.
I washed and went down. Long was in a big chair with his newspaper and some coffee.
'Do you want some food?' He asked.
'Yes!'
A man was at our table. It was Paxton.
'How are you today?' Long asked.
'I'm OK,' our friend answered.
'Did you sleep well?' I asked.
'Yes, thank you. I didn't see the ...' He stopped. 'There wasn't a problem all night.'
'Good!' I smiled. 'Long and I are going for a walk this morning. Please come with us.'
'No, thank you,' Paxton answered. 'I want to stay in the hotel this morning. I'm going to write some letters.'
'This afternoon?' Long said.
'Yes, thank you.'
'Good, good! Let's meet at three o'clock,' Long said. 'Come to our room.'
We said goodbye to him.
Long and I had a good morning. Then we had some food in a café in a town near Seaburgh.
