In future they were to have a new meaning they were to be shared with her. And he spoke of the times as child and youth, home from the seashore or college, he had driven over the same road.

Then, contrary to orders and heedless of the signal gun which summoned them on board, the soldiery dispersed about the town in search of pillage, and, being taken at a disadvantage by the Turks and Moriscos of the place, were driven in confusion down to the beach, only to perceive Doria's galleys rapidly pulling away. Nine hundred were slaughtered on the seashore and six hundred made prisoners.

"I like it here," said Vi. "I wish we could stay always." The children were having lots of fun when, in the midst of their play, they heard the sound of water being splashed and the noise made by the oars of a boat.

It had been a long time since she had visited the seashore, and she discovered that seaside customs and costumes had changed very much.
