"Would you like it, Vere?"
"Immensely, Madre."
She spoke quietly, but she looked pleased at the idea.

"I'll get tickets for the enclosure in the Piazza. We shall have seats
there. And you can bring Gaspare, if you like. Then you will have
three cavaliers."
"Yes, I should like Gaspare to come," said Hermione.
There was a sound of warmth in her hitherto rather cold voice when she

"How you rely on Gaspare!" Artois said, almost as if with a momentary
touch of vexation.
"Indeed I do," Hermione answered.
Their eyes met, surely almost with hostility.
"Madre knows how Gaspare adores her," said Vere, gently. "If there
were any danger he'd never hesitate. He'd save Madre if he left every
other human being in the world to perish miserably--including me."
"Vere!"
"You know quite well he would, Madre."
They talked a little more. Presently Vere seemed to be feeling
restless. Artois noticed it, and watched her.
