But we didn't look out for them. We were prosaic and thought of nothing but the fish." "And is there really a house down there?" said Artois. "Yes," said Hermione. "It used to be a ruin, but now it's built up and occupied. Gaspare" she spoke to him as he was taking a dish from the table "who is it lives in the Casa delle Sirene now? You told me, but I've forgotten."
I will go and be back in a moment. I can run. It is better. If you come we shall take much longer." "Go, Gaspare!" she said. "But stop where do you bathe exactly?" "Quite near, signora." "In that little bay underneath the promontory where the Casa delle Sirene is?" "Sometimes there and sometimes farther on by the caves. A rivederla!" The white dust flew up from the road as he disappeared.
But at night I must drink wine to keep out the cold. I come out like this." We fish all along the shore from Isola Bella round by the point there, where there's the Casa delle Sirene, and to the caves beyond the Caffè Berardi. And when we've got enough many fish at dawn we sleep on the sand.
"If my son Timmy were with me on this job," said Sergeant Madden, "I'd point out the inner meaning of the way we're going about handling it." He reposed in his bucket-seat in the squad ship, which at that moment lay aground not quite right-side-up close to the north pole of Sirene VIII. The local sun was not in view.
Within a short time, two or three minutes, she came in sight of the lakelike inlet, a miniature fiord which lay at the feet of the woods where hid the Casa delle Sirene. The water here looked black like ebony. She stared down at it and saw a boat lying on the shore.

The skipper of the Aldeb came over to the squad ship, because Sergeant Madden loathed spacesuits and there was no air on Sirene VIII. Patrolman Willis watched as the skipper came wading through the lacy, breast-high gas-frost.
I had just been presented to the Queen rose of a rosebud garden of girls, a very gazelle, too, for litheness and grace; the music of the Sirène had begun, and my arm had encircled my partner's willowy waist; when I felt her hang back, and saw on her fair face a distressed look of penitence and perplexity: "I'm so sorry," she murmured, "but I can't dance loose."
They'd been shocked to numbness by the discovery that humans knew of their presence on Sirene IV. They'd been made aghast by the brisk and competent nullification of their eighty-gee rocket defenses. They'd been appalled by the appearance of a space fleet which if it had been a space fleet could have blasted the planet to a cinder.
That is the light in the Casa delle Sirene." "But no one lives there." "Oh, it has been built up now, and Salvatore Buonavista lives there with Maddalena. Buon riposo, signora. Buon riposo, signore."
