“Why are you in such a hurry?” he asked.
“I feel I must see it,” she answered, with a sort of sweet obstinacy.
He hesitated.
“Well, then—I’ll see if I can find the guardian.”
In a moment he came back with a smiling Greek who was holding a key. As the man went to open the door, Dion said:
“Rose, will you follow my directions?”
“When?”
“Now, when you go into the Museum.”
“But aren’t you coming too?”
“Not now. I will when we’ve seen the ruins. When you go into the Museum go straight through the vestibule where the Roman Emperors are. Don’t turn to the right. In front of you you’ll see a hall with a wooden roof and red walls. The ‘Victory’ is there. But don’t stay there. Go into the small room beyond, the last room, and you mustn’t let the guardian go with you.”
