Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Stranded in Arcady
When he put his hand to the cramped neck muscle and moved to escape the bedazzling sun re?ection, the changed point of view gave him a Shock. Sitting with her back to a tree at a little distance was a strange young woman-strange in the sense that he was sure he had never seen her before. Like himself, she had evidently just awakened, and she was staring at him out of wide-open, slate-gray eyes. In the eyes he saw a vast bewilderment comparable to his own, some thing Of alarm, and a trace of subconscious embarrassment as she put her hands to her hair, which was sadly tumbled.
Prime scrambled to his feet and said, Good morning - merely because the conventions, in whatever surroundings, die hard. At this the young woman got up, too, patting and pinning the rebellious hair into subjection.
