"I must not eat anything more," said Hermione. "I believe the
Marchesino is ordering something marvellous for us, all the treasures
of the sea. We must be up to the mark. He really is a good fellow."
"Yes," said Artois. "He is. I have a genuine liking for him."
He said it with obvious sincerity.
"I am going," said Vere. "I must think about clothes. And I must undo
my hair again and get Maria to dry it thoroughly, or I shall look

"Vere is delighted," said Hermione.
"Yes, indeed she is."
"And you are not. Would you rather avoid the Marchesino to-night,
Emile, and not come with us? Perhaps I am selfish. I would so very much
rather have you with us."
"If Doro asks me I shall certainly come. It's true that I wish you were
not engaged to-night--I should have enjoyed a quiet evening here. But
we shall have many quiet, happy evenings together this summer, I hope."
"I wonder if we shall?" said Hermione, slowly.
