But surely in such a moment they would not speak to her of any suspicions, of any certainties, even if they had them. She would surely be the last person to hear anything, unless he thought of the "authorities" of the Pretore, the Cancelliere, the Maresciallo, and suddenly it occurred to him to ride down to the sea.
"It is my duty to make an inquiry," he said. "Who is this signore?" Artois explained that he was an intimate friend of the signora and had known her husband before his marriage. "I have come to hear if you are satisfied, as no doubt you are, Signor Pretore," he said, "that this terrible death was caused by an accident.
The authorities were already at the cottage; the Pretore of Marechiaro with his Cancelliere, Dr. Marini and the Maresciallo of the Carabinieri. "They have come already?" Hermione said. "So soon?" She took the note. It was from Artois. "There is a boy waiting, signora," said Giuseppe. "Gaspare is with the Signor Pretore." She opened Emile's note.
The Pretore and his companions, after polite inquiries as to the illness of Artois, took their leave with many salutations. Only Gaspare remained on the edge of the plateau staring at the sea. As Salvatore went to fetch the chair Artois went over to the boy. "Gaspare!" he said. "Si!" said the boy. "I want you to go up with the Pretore. Go to the signora. Tell her the inquiry is finished.
But Gaspare did not look at her. He had the ugly expression on his face that Hermione had noticed the day before. "Will you please allow me to write a line to a friend?" Hermione said. "Then I shall be ready to answer your questions." "Certainly, signora," said the Pretore; "we are very sorry to disturb you, but it is our duty."
