'I see they're pretty well disposed of; but the babies will grow up, Gustavo, and as for that betrothed one, I should still be a little nervous if I were you; you can never be sure they are going to stay betrothed.
But as soon as the young man dipped into his pocket and fished out a handful of silver, they broke into smiles; this at least was intelligible. The silver was distributed, the luggage was hoisted down, the omnibus was dismissed. The courtyard resumed its former quiet; just the American gentleman, Gustavo and the parrot were left.
'I am going away to-morrow morning by the first boat this time and you mustn't let my aunt and sister know. I will write two letters and you are to take them down to the steward of the boat that leaves to-night. Ask him to put on Austrian stamps and mail them at Riva, so they'll get back here to-morrow. Do you understand? Gustavo nodded and backed away.
I am sorry always to be wanting so many, but' she sighed 'eggs are so breakable! Gustavo rolled his eyes to heaven in silent thanksgiving. She had not, it was evident, run across the American, and the cat was still safely in the bag; but how much longer it could be kept there the saints alone knew.

His own long conversations with Gustavo were as open and innocent as the day; the signorina was perfectly welcome to listen to them as much as she chose. She was sitting with her chin in her hand, eyeing the flying coat-tails of Gustavo, a touch of amusement in her face. Her father was eyeing her severely. 'Constance, it is disgraceful! She laughed.
The young man rose and bowed; Constance nodded carelessly, while Gustavo behind her back made frantic signs for him to flee, to escape while still there was time. The young man telegraphed back by the same sign language that there was no danger; she didn't suspect the truth. And to Gustavo's amazement, he fell in beside them and strolled over to the water-steps.
His appearance was even more violently spectacular than she had ordered; Gustavo had given good measure. He wore a loose white shirt immaculately white with a red silk handkerchief knotted about his throat, brown corduroy knee-breeches, and a red cotton sash with the hilt of a knife conspicuously protruding.
'Yes, I dare say he did but it doesn't happen to be his name. Oh, I'm not blind; I can see plainly enough that he has scratched out his own name underneath. Gustavo leaned forward and affected to examine the page. 'It was a li'l' blot, signorina; he scratch heem out. 'Gustavo! Her tone was despairing. 'Are you incapable of telling the truth?
'And you don't happen to have an aunt? 'An aunt, signore? There was vagueness in his tone. 'Yes, Gustavo, an aunt.
