"Caro Emilio! You are back! You must come with us! You must dine at
Frisio's."

suddenly breaking into awful French, "we have the English flag! Your
Jack! Voila, the great, the only Jack! I salute him! Let me help you!"

sailors in the stern of the launch. A minute afterwards he went to him
and gave him some cigarettes. Then he brought from the cabin two
bouquets of flowers, and offered them to Hermione and Vere, who, with
Artois, were settling themselves in the bows.
