“Abroad?” He dived into the well. “Ah, yes! That was true, wasn’t it? Where——”
“Italy, Sir Nigel.”
“Yes; Florence. Good Lord! What else did you tell the doctor?”
“That you dined here last evening, and spent the night; went for an early swim this morning, and got caught by the current.”
“Good. Who else—er—remembers, beside you and Mary?”
“No one, Sir Nigel. We alone are left, of the old staff.”
“Thomas, bring my clothes. I must get up.”
“See the doctor first, Sir Nigel.”
“No need. I am all right. There is but one person I want to see. Where is she, Thomas?”
“Her ladyship is in her room, Sir Nigel.” The old man’s face worked. “The doctor is with her ladyship.”
