In the 1950s, Bill also worked for Chez Ninon, a couture salon owned by the socially well-connected Nona Park and Sophie Shonnard.

That was indeed a way out of the trouble, and therein Nona helped us with Owen, so that at last he consented.

And Nona had some good words and friendly to say to him, which made him hold his head higher yet after a time.

They were in the chests in the fore cabin where I had once been bound, and Nona knew nought of possible trouble on hand.
