No sooner had Susanna thus bewilderingly spoken, than the rub and dip of oars became audible, rhythmically nearing; and a minute after, from the outer darkness, a row-boat, white and slender, manned by two rowers in smart nautical uniforms, shot forward into the light, and drew up alongside the quay. "A boat from the Fiorimondo," he gasped, in stupefaction. "Yes," said Susanna, pleasantly.
His change of mood was all the more noteworthy, perhaps, because the yacht chanced to be the Fiorimondo, bearing the Countess of Sampaolo and her suite from Venice, whither it had proceeded two days before, upon orders telegraphed from Paris. Adrian, coming in, saw Anthony's letter, superscribed and stamped, lying on the table. "I 'm posting a lot of stuff of my own," he said.
"Besides," she plausibly admonished him, "you might do me the justice of supposing that I have changes aboard the Fiorimondo. My maid awaits me there with quite a dozen boxes. So you see. Oh, and by the bye," she interjected, "Serafino also is coming with me. He'll act as courier buy my tickets, register my luggage; and then, when we reach our ultimate destination, resume his white cap and apron.
"The Fiorimondo takes me as far as Venice. There I leave it for the train." The Commendatore's faded old blue eyes flickered anxiously. "I can't think I am dreaming," he remarked, with a kind of vague plaintiveness; "and of course you are not serious. My dear, I don't understand." "Oh, I 'm as serious as mathematics," she assured him.
I 'm starting on my travels to see the world Paris, which I have only seen once London, which I have never seen the seaports of Bohemia, the mountains of Thule, which I have often seen from a distance, in the mists on the horizon. The Fiorimondo takes me as far as Venice. That is one of the advantages of owning a steam-yacht.
