"Well," she went on laughing, "you will get very little to eat for your pains, and I know that soldiers always like good dinners." "How do you know that, Miss de la Molle?" "Oh, because of poor James and his friends whom he used to bring here.
You got the Ponte Molle the old Milvian bridge a good deal too far down the stream, if I remember. I happened to notice that, but I did not read the article carefully.

The Interviewer thought he saw an opening.
If you are going home, Quaritch, I will walk with you. I want a little air." "Colonel Quaritch, you have not said if you will come to my party to-morrow, yet," said Ida, as he stretched out his hand to say good- bye. "Oh, thank you, Miss de la Molle; yes, I think I can come, though I play tennis atrociously." "Oh, we all do that. Well, good-night.
