〃He does really;〃 said Rinaldi。 〃He has a rendezvous。 I know all about it。〃
〃I have to go。〃
〃Another night;〃 said Bassi。 〃Another night when you feel stronger。〃 He slapped me on the shoulder。 There were lighted candles on the table。 All the officers were very happy。 〃Good…night; gentlemen;〃 I said。
Rinaldi went out with me。 We stood outside the door on the patch and he said; 〃You better not go up there drunk。〃
〃I'm not drunk; Rinin。 Really。〃
〃You'd better chew some coffee。〃
〃Nonsense。〃
〃I'll get some; baby。 You walk up and down。〃 He came back with a handful of roasted coffee beans。 〃Chew those; baby; and God be with you。〃
〃Bacchus;〃 I said。
〃I'll walk down with you。〃
〃I'm perfectly all right。〃
We walked along together through the town and I chewed the coffee。 At the gate of the driveway that led up to the British villa; Rinaldi said good…night。
〃Good…night;〃 I said。 〃Why don't you e in?〃
He shook his head。 〃No;〃 he said。 〃I like the simpler pleasures。〃
〃Thank you for the coffee beans。〃
〃Nothing; baby。 Nothing。〃
J started down the driveway。 The outlines of the cypresses that lined it were sharp and clear。 I looked back and saw Rinaldi standing watching me and waved to him。
I sat in the reception hail of the villa; waiting for Catherine Barkley to e down。 Some one was ing down the hallway。 I stood up; but it was not Catherine。 It was Miss Ferguson。
