Dinner is almost ready , and -- '' `` Oh , I do n't want any dinner . I 'm going home -- I will sail over . '' `` My dear child , do n't be foolish . It 's too late to go over the harbour tonight . They wo n't be expecting you . Wait until the morning . '' `` No -- oh , you do n't understand . I must go -- I must ! My mother is over there . '' Something in the girl 's last sentence or the tone in which it was uttered brought a look of pain to Mrs. Cameron 's face . But she made no further attempt to dissuade her . `` Well , if you must . But you can not go alone -- no , Nora , I can not allow it . The wind is too high and it is too late for you to go over by yourself . Clark Bryant will take you . '' Nora would have protested but she knew it would be in vain . She submitted somewhat sullenly and walked down to the shore in silence . Clark Bryant strode beside her , humouring her mood . He was a tall , stout man , with an ugly , clever , sarcastic face . He was as clever as he looked , and was one of the younger millionaires whom John Cameron drew around him in the development of his huge financial schemes .
Bryant was in love with XXXXX .
