The Sea Change // Doctor Overboard — Catherine Airlie

"We're never had a trouble-free voyage", Doctor David Rodney, ship's surgeon of the Avalon, told Mairi. "Five hundred passengers and seven thousand sea miles never add up to a surgeon's holiday. And the current cruise proved no exception. Mairi's troubles, however, were not medical. Her assignment was to chaperone her boss's daughter, Caroline, who was being pursued by a fortune-hunter. Mairi performed her task dutifully in the face of difficulties, but began to find that all her sense of duty was taxed when the assignment began to cut across her growing love for Doctor David.
