the miracle on Titanic page 19 by ric gustafson.
David stood up as he noticed Charlene and her brother approach the table. " You look wonderful tonight" he said as he pulled her chair out and the three of them sat down.
David's mother was sitting next to Colonel Archibald Gracie and across from David and Charlene sat Benjamin Guggenheim and Kitty Webb.
All of a sudden, they heard a familiar shuffle.
" Good evening" said a well dressed man who smiled and sat down in the last empty chair. " I'm Colonel JJ Astor and normally my wife is with me but she is ill this evening".
" Colonel Astor, I enjoyed our conversation this afternoon".
" Oh yes, Sharpston" he replied with a grin as their table steward took their order. " David Sharpston".
Later on, as they finished their wonderful dinner of rack of lamb and baron of beef, David noticed that the dance floor was empty. " Would you like to dance Charlene?".
She nodded and the two of them excused themselves. They walked onto the dance floor.
" Charlene" he said quietly as he held her left hand and glided her around the floor. " I'm going to start studying the bible tonight".
