Nor would the captain allow Louise to wash the dishes afterward.
"No, girl. I'll clean up this mess. You go out and see how fur you
can walk on that hard beach now it's slack tide. You ain't been up
there to Tapp P'int yit and seen that big house that belongs to the
candy king. Neither have I, of course," he added; "but they been
tellin' me about it in the store."
Louise accepted the suggestion and started to walk up the beach; but
she did not get far. There was a private dock running out beyond
low-water mark just below the very first bungalow. She saw several men
coming down the steps from the top of the bluff to the shore and the
bathhouses; a big camera was set up on the sands. This must be
Bozewell's bungalow, she decided; the one engaged by the moving picture
people.
If Judson Bane was to be leading man of the company the picture was
very likely to be an important production; for Bane would not leave the
legitimate stage for any small salary. Seeing no women in the party
and that the men were heading up the beach, Louise went no farther in
that direction, and instead walked out upon the private dock to its end.
