"I will return now with thee to Murano. Perhaps thy father will befriend us." "No, no; without their consent it would be useless. I think I shall not tell him it would be only a grief." "Because it meaneth much to thee?" Marco questioned, luminous and ungenerous. She did not answer. "Thou dost verily make too much of the nobles and the people, Marina; we are all Venetians."
