A rival comes. Then a hurricane. Maybe Koli's drowned? She loved him along. He's saved. New doubts. New quarrels. Final reconciliation...
...pathetic little heroine of A Night of Levitation is a teen-ager who has fallen in love with a boarding-school teacher. Having been sent to an island resort to get over her infatuation, she promptly falls for a crude, shrewd young local fisherman. After a stolen hour of duel-like talk and romance by the sea, he simply lifts the money in her purse and disappears, leaving a note that reads...
