Baptiste and his boatmen still slept among the boxes; Maso continued to pace his elevated platform above their heads; and the meek-looking stranger, whose entrance into the barge had drawn so many witticisms from Pippo, sate a little apart, silent, furtively observant, and retiring, in the identical spot he had occupied throughout the day.
"What can we do!" wailed a meek-looking little Senior from the darkest corner of the room. "There's nothing except ask conundrums. I'll begin. Why did we ever ?" "What more do you want?" asked Landis, turning about quickly to face them. "I'll begin. What goes around a " "Hush hush," came a chorus of whispers. From the chapel below music could be heard.
