"
"Yes."
"But why specially this summer, Madre?"
"I am not sure what he means by that," Hermione answered.
But she remembered the conversation in the Grotto of Virgil, and
wondered if her friend thought she needed the comfort of his presence.
"Well, Madre?"
Vere's bright eyes were fixed upon her mother.
"Well, Vere? What is it?"
"Is there no message for me from Monsieur Emile?"
"No, Vere."
"How forgetful of him! But never mind!" She went upstairs, looking
disappointed.
Hermione re-read the letter. She wondered, perhaps more than Vere, why
there was no message for the child. The child--she was still calling
Vere that in her mind, even after the night conversation with Gaspare.
Two or three times she re-read that sentence, "I feel specially that
this summer I should like to be near you," and considered it; but she
finally put the letter away with a strong feeling that most of its
meaning lay between the lines, and that she had not, perhaps, the
power to interpret it.
