A question evidently trembled on the Italian's lips, but he restrained himself. He could not ask it when he saw the pain and the dread in Brian's face. But Brian answered the question that he had meant to ask. "My brother is dead, also. My mother is living and well." Then he wheeled round and looked at the landing-stage, to which they were now very close.
The gentleman was singing as he rowed: "Go, little bark, Float in the dark..." But the commissary saw a skiff fastened to the landing-stage of the adjoining property.
This house stood on a hill looking down on the bay, in several acres of ground. It had its private landing-stage and bath-house, its dairy, its sleeping-porches, everything, in fact, that a sensible girl could want. Mr Mariner could not bring himself to suppose that he would fail again today. "They're asking a hundred and five thousand," he said, "but I know they'd take a hundred thousand.
You see the landing-stage or pier is divided into two equal portions; the people who are leaving the boat have not yet paid their fare; they will have to disburse their coppers at the office where we paid ours, there being but one paying-place for the two termini.

"How comes it you are not back in your own country, now the war is over?" he asked Doria.
If you are in distress, will you send me a messenger to my Tents of Purple and Gold? . . . My boat from sunset to sunrise waits at the landing-stage . . . the mare Pi-Kay waits from the setting until the rising of the sun at the Gate of To-morrow."
As the Bucentaur touched at the landing-stage and Odo stepped out on the red carpet strewn with flowers, while cannon thundered from the walls and the bells burst into renewed jubilation, he felt himself for the first time face to face with his people.
He went to a gorgeous little chapel at the base of the landing-stage, there to hold a service in memory of the visit to New Athos of their highnesses the late Tsar, Alexander the Third, and his queen, on that day 1888.
