Now that I know you live, I would search the wide world for you. Blessed Mother! How you must have feared me all these years!" Stampa was using the Romansch dialect of the Italian Alps. Bower spoke in German. Spencer heard them indistinctly. He marveled that they should discuss, as he imagined, the state of the weather with such subdued passion.
