He got out at the entrance to the garden of the Ristorante, went across it, and out on a large terrace. There were a number of Americans having tea, and in one group of them was Susanna. "How late you come!" she said. "I have just received your card. And what did you do in Corfu? How did things go down there?" "Very well indeed. It is all wonderful. And I have been in Epirus and Albania, too."
In effect, it was a relapse of the former disease, chiefly affecting the brain, and his impatience to leave Recoara, and free himself from Arnaud, had been a symptom of its approach, though it fortunately did not absolutely overpower him till after he had embarked for Corfu, and was in the way to be tended with the greatest solicitude.
'Lilian, said the young Barndale, inwardly delirious at his own daring and the supernal beauty of her smile, but on the outside of him quite calm and assured, and a trifle masterful, 'I came because I learned that you were com-ing. If you are displeased with me for that, I will land at Corfu and go home. And bury my misery, he added in a tone so hollow and sepulchral that you or I had laughed.
After ten days rowing and sailing they reach Corfu, and the castle greets them with thunders of joy-guns, for the fear of the Turk is removed. 'Ali Pasha, hard by in the Gulf of Lepanto, sent out scouts to ascertain the enemy's strength.
Such a union is not desirable for the people, to whom it would be a step backward in civilization; but it is no wonder if Corfu, which has given a minister of European reputation to the Russian Empire, and a president to Greece itself before the arrival of the Bavarians, should feel it a grievance that its people are not admissable to the highest posts in some government or other.

The bailo remained a week in Corfu, and all the naval authorities entertained him and his suite in turn, so that there was a constant succession of balls and suppers.
I chartered a vessel, which I loaded with the rest of my stock; and, taking all my money with me, made sail for Corfu, before any discovery had taken place. When the weather moderated, I directed the captain to take the vessel into the outer roadstead that I might sail as soon as possible.
In a city like Venice there are always fresh subjects for talk, and the most exciting piece of scandal is but a three days' wonder. A few weeks at Corfu will restore your nerves, which cannot but have been shaken by what you have gone through, and you will come back here more disposed than ever to appreciate the gaieties of Venice."
