The entire next day passed without any incidents. Though the young men were somewhat reluctant, they nonetheless followed the deputy manager's instructions to explain the situation to some of the girls.
Nothing unexpected happened until just before dinner. Both the deputy manager and Nell breathed a sigh of relief, but as the sky darkened and they were about to get something to eat, a young man in his mid-twenties stood before them.
He looked quite embarrassed, and standing behind him was a local girl. Nell felt a slight tingle on his scalp and knew that something might have happened.
Before the deputy manager could speak, he intercepted, standing in front of the young man, and asked softly, and gently, "What's wrong?"
He knew the guy in front of him; he was just four years older than Lynch but was already a father and a husband.
