He
was
a
regular
gondolier
in
a
white
-
and
-
blue
blouse
,
not
very
good
-
looking
,
not
at
all
impressive
.
Yes
!
The
Villa
Esmeralda
!
Yes
!
I
know
it
!
I
have
been
the
gondolier
for
a
gentleman
there
.
But
a
fair
distance
out
!
He
seemed
a
rather
childish
,
impetuous
fellow
.
He
rowed
with
a
certain
exaggerated
impetuosity
,
through
the
dark
side
-
canals
with
the
horrible
,
slimy
green
walls
,
the
canals
that
go
through
the
poorer
quarters
,
where
the
washing
hangs
high
up
on
ropes
,
and
there
is
a
slight
,
or
strong
,
odour
of
sewage
.

But
at
last
he
came
to
one
of
the
open
canals
with
pavement
on
either
side
,
and
looping
bridges
,
that
run
straight
,
at
right
-
angles
to
the
Grand
Canal
.
The
two
women
sat
under
the
little
awning
,
the
man
was
perched
above
,
behind
them
.
Are
the
signorine
staying
long
at
the
Villa
Esmeralda
?
he
asked
,
rowing
easy
,
and
wiping
his
perspiring
face
with
a
white
-
and
-
blue
handkerchief
.
Some
twenty
days
:
we
are
both
married
ladies
,
said
Hilda
,
in
her
curious
hushed
voice
,
that
made
her
Italian
sound
so
foreign
.
Ah
!
Twenty
days
!
said
the
man
.
There
was
a
pause
.
After
which
he
asked
:
Do
the
signore
want
a
gondolier
for
the
twenty
days
or
so
that
they
will
stay
at
the
Villa
Esmeralda
?
Or
by
the
day
,
or
by
the
week
?

Connie
and
Hilda
considered
.
In
Venice
,
it
is
always
preferable
to
have
one
s
own
gondola
,
as
it
is
preferable
to
have
one
s
own
car
on
land
.
What
is
there
at
the
Villa
?
what
boats
?
There
is
a
motor
-
launch
,
also
a
gondola
.
But
-
-
The
but
meant
:
they
won
t
be
your
property
.
