"I beg your pardon." He hastily touched a bell and ordered it. Meanwhile Carey examined the photograph. "What do you think of it?" Sir Donald asked. "Well Italy obviously." "Yes, and a conventional part of Italy." "Maggiore?" "No, Como." "The playground of the honeymoon couple." "Not where my Campo Santo is. They go to Cadenabbia, Bellagio, Villa D'Este sometimes."
