[Mare Nostrum (Our Sea) by Vicente Blasco Ibanez]@TWC D-Link bookMare Nostrum (Our Sea) CHAPTER V 1/57
THE AQUARIUM OF NAPLES In spite of her promise, Freya made no effort to meet the sailor.
"We shall see each other....
I shall hunt you up." But it was Ferragut who did the hunting, stationing himself around the hotel. "How crazy I was the other morning!...
I wonder what you could have thought of me!" she said the first time that she spoke to him again. Not every day did Ulysses have the pleasure of a conversation which invariably developed from the _Via Partenope_ to Virgil's monument.
The most of the mornings he used to wait in vain opposite the oyster stands, listening to the musicians who were bombarding the closed windows of the hotel with their sentimental romances and mandolins. Freya would not appear. His impatience usually dragged Ulysses back to the hotel in order to beg information of the porter.
