Chapter III
At Nice once, toward evening, as the pair rested in the open air after a walk, and looked over the sea at the pink western lights, he said suddenly to his comrade: “Do you like it, you know—being with us all in this intimate way?” “My dear fellow, why should I stay if I didn’t?” “How do I know you’ll stay? I’m almost sure you won’t, very long.” “I hope you don’t mean to dismiss me,” said Pemberton.
