"My business with Mr. Argetti is not really pressing, but I will go for the pleasure of having such a lovely guide."
"Hold! hold! no flattery, please. I am merely obliging a stranger."
The girl's eyes flashed with a different light than that which illuminated them when her eyes embellished her smile.
"I don't mean to flatter you. I but spoke the truth."
"You wish to see Signor Argetti personally?"
"Yes."
"You will not be able to see him before night."
"And will I be compelled to wait until to-night?"
"To see him, yes."
