In the intervals between our search Leglosse and I used our best endeavours to make Miss Kitwater enjoy her stay.

We took her to Pompeii, climbed Vesuvius together, visited Capri, Ischia, the Great Museum, the King's Palace, and dined together every evening.

I had not been acquainted with the girl much more than a fortnight, and yet I felt as if I had known her all my life, and the greater my experience of her was, the better I liked her.
