Henry Abbott was sitting on his front deck enjoying lunch in the spring sun. His companion Seymour was set for some scraps that might appear his way. A Skylark on the veranda expressed its joy, being warmed by the spring sunlight. Suddenly a deep sound from the Titanic's whistle crushed the subtle sounds of nature as The Titanic departed from Southampton for the open sea. Henry picked up his binoculars and watched as The Titanic faded into the horizon. It was her "u revoir".
