There came a
summoning call from the sailors.
"If you do stay," Artois said to the Marchesino, turning back to them,
"you must send the launch round to Mergellina. I don't believe it can
stop here."
"Well, but there are rocks, Caro Emilio. It is protected!"
"Not enough."
"Signora," said Gaspare, "we had better go. It will only get worse.
The sea is not too bad yet."
"Come along!" Hermione cried, with decision. "Come, Vere! I'm very
sorry, Marchese, but we must really get back at once. Good-night,
Emile! Gaspare give me your arm."
And she set off at once, clinging to Gaspare, who held an open
umbrella over her.
"Good-night, Vere!" said Artois.
The girl was looking at him with surprised eyes.
"You are going--"
"I shall take the tram."
"Oh--of course. That is your quickest way."
"Signorina--the umbrella!"
The Marchesino was offering his arm to conduct Vere to the launch. He
cast a challenging look of triumph at Artois.
"I would come in the launch," Artois said hastily.
