"If God grants us a fair wind, we are."
Milenko thereupon opened his mouth to speak, but his friend forestalled him.
"So you had a letter from his father? Well, what news from home? Are they all in good health? And how are the crops getting on?" Thereupon he stepped on his friend's foot to make him keep quiet.
"Yes, all are well. Amongst other things, he says that your father has gone to Montenegro."
"My father?" asked Uros, with a sly wink at Milenko.
"Yes; on account of a murder that had been committed at Budua." Then, turning to the captain: "By-the-bye, you knew Radonic, didn't you?"
"Yes, I did."
"Well, it appears he's gone and murdered the only friend he had."
"That's not astonishing. The only thing that surprises me is that he ever had a friend to murder. He was one of the most unsociable men I ever met."
Afterwards they spoke of the accident that had kept the two young men at Ragusa, at which Giulianic seemed greatly concerned.
