She could feel the kiss tingling through her body from her finger-tips, and she was suddenly docile and appeased. When she lay in her cot behind the curtain she prayed: "Please God keep me from wanting Sarah." In the morning she remembered. When she looked at Sarah she thought: "Sarah is Mark's cat and Dank's cat." She touched her with the tips of her fingers.
Mark's superior knowledge of the world, moreover, his careless, buoyant manner of carrying himself, his gay, boyish audacity, all had a very distinct charm for her; and yet But there would be no "and yet" a little later. Patty's heart would blaze quickly enough when sufficient heat was applied to it, and Mark was falling more and more deeply in love every day.
Mark's herself appeared more like a jewel box than ever, and was only surpassed by the Campanile which was ablaze from top to bottom. Everywhere was music, everywhere was light, and in this new and splendid setting, Venice looked a very gorgeous "Bride of the Sea!"
A broken pitcher stood on the table half filled. He tasted it dubiously. It was water, luke warm, but water! He soused a towel he found on the washstand into it and slopped it over Mark's face.
