This fact had suggested to the Marchesino that if
his suspicion were correct, and the ladies in the white boat with the
green line were this English friend and a daughter, they probably
lived in some villa as easily reached by sea as by land. Such villas
are more numerous towards the point of the Capo di Posilipo than
nearer Naples, as the high road, after the Mergellina, mounts the hill
and diverges farther and farther from the sea. The Antico Giuseppone
is a small waterside ristorante at the point of the Capo di Posilipo,
a little below the Villa Rosebery.
The Marchesino's suggestion of a dinner there that evening had been
prompted by the desire to draw his friend into the neighborhood of his
charmer of the sea. Once there he might either find some pretext for
making her acquaintance through Artois--if Artois did know her--or, if
that were impossible, he might at least find out where she lived. By
the manner of Artois when the Antico Giuseppone was mentioned, he knew
at once that he was playing his cards well.
