Angela and her brother Simon are about to fly to a gold mine in the Australian outback. She’s a little surprised when she meets the pilot of the small plane they’re taking. Something about him doesn’t seem quite right. But Angela reminds herself that flying is safer than riding in a car. It was said with promptness, even precipitation; yet the understanding, shortly after, appeared to have left between them a certain awkwardness, and it was almost as if to change the subject and relieve them equally that she suddenly reminded him of something he had spoken earlier. "You were to tell me why in particular you had to be here."
