She surfaced gasping.\n\n\"You look like you've dived into the Arctic Ocean,\" aid Kevin,\nstill hovering on the edge.\n\n\"Coawrd!\" Her teeth chattered\n\nThat brought him in. She swam away from him with strong even\nstrokes; he pursued her in a fast sprawling crawl. He caught her\nby the shoulders.\n\n\"What was that you said?\"\n\n\"You're the bravest man this side of the Boyne.\"\n\n\"The Boyne? I'm not fond of the Boyne.\" The Boyne was where\nKing William had fought and defeated the Catholics under James II.\n\"Let's say the Shannon.\"\n\nSadie could say nothing more. Her lips were blue. They swam a\nlength and then clambered up out of the water.\n\n\"Enough's enough,\"\"God, let's get out\" said Kevin.\n\nThey dressed and went into the restaurant to drink hot chocolate.\nAs they drank, heat gradually returned to their bodies.\n\n\"Boys, I thought the shock would have> killed me,\" said Kevin.\n\"Who's idea was that anyway?\"\n\n\"I thought you were one for a challenege?\"\n\nHe smiledgrinned back at her. \"I'd hardly be here if I weren't, would I?\n\nTheres's a few in my street would be having a heart attack if they could see us now.\"\n\n\"Let's forget about your streext, \" said Sadie \"and mine.\"\n\n\"A good idea that.\"\n","Type":"Text"}}]
