Barbary Moon

“I suppose Morocco is a better place than most for a plunge into the passionate unknown. It's a pity girls of your age have such a lack of judgment and knowledge. The Barbary moon plays tricks," said Andrew Barran scathingly to Carolyn, who knew he was referring to her relationship with Leo Morgan.
The trouble was that, because of something in the past, Carolyn was not at liberty to explain that Leo meant nothing in her life at all. The only man who did was standing there before her - and she knew without any doubt whatever that her feelings for him were no trick of the Barbary moon.
