〃Im　sorry；　darling。　I　know　it　must　be　a　dreadful　feeling　to　have　nothing　at　all　suddenly。〃

〃My　life　used　to　be　full　of　everything；〃　I　said。　〃Now　if　you　arent　with　me　I　havent　a　thing　in　the　world。〃

〃But　Ill　be　with　you。　I　was　only　gone　for　two　hours。　Isnt　there　anything　you　can　do？〃

〃I　went　fishing　with　the　barman。〃

〃Wasnt　it　fun？〃

〃Yes。〃

〃Dont　think　about　me　when　Im　not　here。〃

〃Thats　the　way　I　worked　it　at　the　front。　But　there　was　something　to　do　then。〃

〃Othello　with　his　occupation　gone；〃　she　teased。

〃Othello　was　a　nigger；〃　I　said。　〃Besides；　Im　not　jealous。　Im　just　so　in　love　with　you　that　there　isnt　anything　else。〃

〃Will　you　be　a　good　boy　and　be　nice　to　Ferguson？〃

〃Im　always　nice　to　Ferguson　unless　she　curses　me。〃

〃Be　nice　to　her。　Think　how　much　we　have　and　she　hasnt　anything。〃

〃I　dont　think　she　wants　what　we　have。〃

〃You　dont　know　much；　darling；　for　such　a　wise　boy。〃

〃Ill　be　nice　to　her。〃

〃I　know　you　will。　Youre　so　sweet。〃

〃She　wont　stay　afterward；　will　she？〃

〃No。　Ill　get　rid　of　her。〃

〃And　then　well　e　up　here。〃

〃Of　course。　What　do　you　think　I　want　to　do？〃

We　went　downstairs　to　have　lunch　with　Ferguson。　She　was　very　impressed　by　the　hotel　and　the　splendor　of　the　dining…room。　We　had　a　good　lunch　with　a　couple　of　bottles　of　white　capri。　Count　Greffi　came　into　the　dining…room　and　bowed　to　us。　His　niece；　who　looked　a　little　like　my　grandmother；　was　with　him。　I　told　Catherine　and　Ferguson　about　him　and　Ferguson　was　very　impressed。　The　hotel　was　very　big　and　grand　and　empty　but　the　food　was　good；　the　wine　was　very　pleasant　and　finally　the　wine　made　us　all　feel　very　well。　Catherine　had　no　need　to　feel　any　better。　She　was　very　happy。　Ferguson　became　quite　cheerful。　I　felt　very　well　myself。　After　lunch　Ferguson　went　back　to　her　hotel。　She　was　going　to　lie　down　for　a　while　after　lunch　she　said。

Along　late　in　the　afternoon　some　one　knocked　on　our　door。

〃Who　is　it？〃

〃The　Count　Greffi　wishes　to　know　if　you　will　play　billiards　with　him。〃

I　looked　at　my　watch；　I　had　taken　it　off　and　it　was　under　the　pillow。

〃Do　you　have　to　go；　darling？〃　Catherine　whispered。

〃I　think　Id　better。〃　The　watch　was　a　quarter…past　four　oclock。　Out　loud　I　said；　〃Tell　the　Count　Greffi　I　will　be　in　the　billiard…room　at　five　oclock。〃

At　a　quarter　to　five　I　kissed　Catherine　good…by　and　went　into　the　bathroom　to　dress。　Knotting　my　tie　and　looking　in　the　glass　I　looked　strange　to　myself　in　the　civilian　clothes。　I　must　remember　to　buy　some　more　shirts　and　socks。

〃Will　you　be　away　a　long　time？〃　Catherine　asked。　She　looked　lovely　in　the　bed。　〃Would　you　hand　me　the　brush？〃

I　watched　her　brushing　her　hair；　holding　her　head　so　the　weight　of　her　hair　all　came　on　one　side。　It　was　dark　outside　and　the　light　over　the　head　of　the　bed　shone　on　her　hair　and　on　her　neck　and　shoulders。　I　went　over　and　kissed　her　and　held　her　hand　with　the　brush　and　her　head　sunk　back　on　the　pillow。　I　kissed　her　neck　and　shoulders。　I　felt　faint　with　loving　her　so　much。

〃I　dont　want　to　go　away。〃

〃I　dont　want　you　to　go　away。〃

〃I　wont　go　then。〃

〃Yes。　Go。　Its　only　for　a　little　while　and　then　youll　e　back。〃　〃Well　have　dinner　up　here。〃

〃Hurry　and　e　back。〃

I　found　the　Count　Greffi　in　the　billiard…room。　He　was　practising　strokes；　looking　very　fragile　under　the　light　that　came　down　above　the　billiard　table。　On　a　card　table　a　little　way　beyond　the　light　was　a　silver　icing…bucket　with　the　necks　and　corks　of　two　champagne　bottles　showing　above　the　ice。　The　Count　Greffi　straightened　up　when　I　came　toward　the　table　and　walked　toward　me。　He　put　out　his　hand；　〃It　is　such　a　great　pleasure　that　you　are　here。　You　were　very　kind　to　e　to　play　with　me。〃

〃It　was　very　nice　of　you　to　ask　me。〃

〃Are　you　quite　well？　They　told　me　you　were　wounded　on　the　Isonzo。　I　hope　you　are　well　again。〃
