Brown disappeared from the deck of the boat a few moments later. He climbed into the "Water Witch" and rowed very swiftly up the bay. Miss Jones had taken it for granted that their houseboat had caught fire by accident. She had not had time to give much thought to the matter. But Mr. Brown had other views.

"Come on," he laughed, holding out his hand to help her up. "And then I'll untie the boat. . . ." He swung her up beside him and for a moment they looked into one another's eyes. "I hope," he said, "that you'll be happy, my dear, so happy." And his voice was very tender. . . . They rowed back towards the boat-house, where Sir James was waiting for them.
Similar spars, with painted and ornamented heads, that sometimes bore the colors and arms of the proprietor, formed a sort of little haven for the gondolas of the household, before the door of every dwelling of mark.

The most agreeable carriage from here to Genoa, is a feluca, or open boat, rowed by ten or twelve stout mariners. Though none of these boats belong to Nice, they are to be found every day in our harbour, waiting for a fare to Genoa; and they are seen passing and repassing continually, with merchandize or passengers, between Marseilles, Antibes, and the Genoese territories.
