“Have you anything more to say? I want to get a bath and my breakfast”
“I 've a lot more to say, and I shall have to tell Sir Joseph you 're here! and I shall have to sign your time bill, and to see if we have n't got something for Naples. You 're for Naples, ain't you? And I want to send Darner some cigars and a pot of caviare that's been here these two months, and that he must have smelled from Naples.”
“Then be hasty, for heaven's sake, for I'm starving.”
“You're starving! How strange, and it's only eight o'clock! Why, we don't breakfast here till one, and I rarely eat anything.”
“So much the worse for you,” said Tony, gruffly. “My appetite is excellent, if I only had a chance to gratify it.”
“What's the news in town,—is there anything stirring?”
“Not that I know.”
“Has Lumley engaged Teresina again?”
“Never heard of her.”
“He ought; tell him I said so. She's fifty times better than La Gradina. Our chef here,” added he, in a whisper, “says she has better legs than Pochini.”
