"Is anything wrong ?" Corbario looked up quickly, as if he had been in a reverie.
"Anything the matter?
No.

Where did you say you were going ?" "To find Marcello.

He has not come in yet." "He has gone for a walk, I suppose.

He often walks alone on off days.

He will be back before luncheon, and you are not going to town till the afternoon." "Will you come with me ?" Aurora asked, for she was in a good humour with Folco.
He rose at once.
"I'll go with you for a stroll," he said, "but I don't think it is of any use to look for Marcello near the house." "It can do no harm." "And it will do us good to walk a bit." They went down the path and through the trees towards the break in the bank.
"The sand was very wet this morning, even inside the bank," Aurora said.
