They found the yellow omnibus of the Hotel du Lac, its roof laden with luggage, drawn up at the end of the driveway, and Mrs.Eustace and Nannie on the point of descending.

The centre of the terrace was already occupied by Lieutenant di Ferara, who, with heels clicked together and white gloved hands at salute, was in the act of achieving a military bow.
Miss Hazel fluttering from the door, in one breath welcomed the guests, presented the lieutenant, and ordered Giuseppe to convey the luggage upstairs.

Then she glanced questioningly about the terrace.
'I thought Constance and her father were here--Giuseppe!' Giuseppe dropped his end of a trunk and approached.

Miss Hazel handed him the lieutenant's card.

'The signorina and the signore--in the garden, I think.' Giuseppe advanced upon the garden.
