"So I suppose the Chase isn't our home any longer?" asked Dulcie, as the young Ingletons clustered round their cousin for explanations. "Who is this Leslie? We've never heard anything of him before." "I didn't know Uncle Tristram had a son!" said Roland. "Will everything be his instead of Everard's?" asked Bevis pitifully. "No, and yes," replied Cousin Clare.
The Ingletons dined, spent an evening in the saloon, made the acquaintance of other passengers, and next morning amused themselves with deck games. They began to congratulate the captain on the calmness of the passage, but he laughed and told them not to count up their blessings too soon. "In February we may expect anything in the way of weather," he remarked. And he was right.
The relations, who had assembled to welcome Carmel back, came often to the Casa Bianca, and in quite a short time they and the Ingletons were on terms of intimacy. Ernesto Trapani, a handsome young fellow, slightly older than Everard, was studying at the University of Palermo, in which city Vittore was at school, and the two brothers came home from Saturday to Monday.
In his present condition he could quite easily have lain down in the sink of Pera's iniquity, careless whether any one knew; but it was horribly difficult to him to dine with the Ingletons and Vane at the Villa Hafiz, to say "Good night" to Mrs.
He was silent. "What would you do there?" "Ugly things, perhaps." "Why didn't you go? What kept you?" "I felt that I must ask you something." He sat down beside her and took both her hands roughly. They were dry and burning as if with fever. "You trick Jimmy," he said. "You trick the Ingletons, Vane, all the people here " "Trick!" she interrupted coldly, almost disdainfully. "What do you mean?"
From Glastonbury they motored through the beautiful county of Somerset into leafy Devonshire, taking easy stages so as not to overtire the invalid, and halting at any place where the guide book pointed out objects worthy of notice. To please Carmel, they were making in the direction of Tivermouth, where they hoped to arrive in time to meet the Ingletons.
On the Saturday after the Ingletons' arrival all these young people came over to Casa Bianca, and it was decided to take picnic baskets, and go out in a body to show the guests some of the sights of the neighborhood. So a very gay party started off from the veranda.
In spite of lack of all toilet necessaries, the Ingletons slept peacefully, worn out with their long day in the fresh air. Milner, the chauffeur, must have made an early start, for he arrived at eleven o'clock next morning in the small car, armed with his master's instructions.
All these nineteen relations gave the Ingletons a typical Italian greeting. They embraced Carmel with the warm-hearted demonstrative enthusiasm characteristic of the country, and welcomed the rest of the party with charming friendliness.
"Come and see some Sevres I picked up at Christie's. Carey is delighted with it, although, of course, horrified at the price I paid for it." She got up and went with Mrs. Clarke into one of the drawing-rooms. Dion Leith was not mentioned again. That evening the Ingletons dined alone. Sir Carey said he must insist on a short honeymoon even though they were obliged to spend it in an Embassy.
