Gustavo looked embarrassed. 'I I no remember, signorina. She laughed and to his relief changed the subject. 'Those English ladies who are staying here what do they look like? Are they young?
The young American man, in white flannels with a red guide-book protruding from his pocket, was comfortably stretched in a lounging chair engaged with a cigarette and a copy of the Paris Herald. He glanced up with a yawn excusable under the circumstances but as his eye fell upon the letter he sprang to his feet. 'Hello, Gustavo! Is that for me? Gustavo bowed. 'Ecco!
'I do not think you grasp my question. An aunt the sister of your father, or perhaps your mother. A gleam of illumination swept over Gustavo's troubled features. 'Ecco! You would know if I haf a zia a aunt yes, zat is it. A aunt. Sicuramente, signore, I haf ten leven aunt. 'Eleven aunts!

I'll write a note and invite him too Gustavo can give it to him when he comes, and you needn't bother any more about him.
He held out his hand. Gustavo regarded it dazedly; then, since it seemed to be expected, he gingerly presented his own. The result was a shining newly-minted two-lire piece. He pocketed it with a fresh succession of bows. 'Grazie tanto! Has ze signore need of anysing? 'Have I need of anysing? There was reproach, indignation, disgust in the young man's tone.
Gustavo's eyes roved wildly until they lighted on the tennis-court. 'He he stay, signorina, to play lawn-tennis wif me, but he go to-morrow. 'Oh, he is going to-morrow? What's his name, Gustavo? She put the question indifferently while she stooped to pet a tortoise-shell cat that was curled asleep on the bench. 'His name? Gustavo's face cleared. 'I get ze raygeester; you read heem yourself.
You got it too large the last time, you remember. She stirred in some sugar and tasted it tentatively, her head on one side. Gustavo hung upon her expression in an agony of apprehension; one would have thought it a matter for public mourning if the lemonade were not mixed exactly right. But apparently it was right she nodded and smiled and Gustavo's expression assumed relief.
There are two of him. 'Two! I only ordered one. 'One is the official driver and the other is a boy whom he has brought along to do the work. Constance eyed her father sharply.
