mans　island。　The　sun　was　under　a　cloud　and　the　water　was　dark　and　smooth　and　very　cold。　We　did　not　have　a　strike　though　we　saw　some　circles　on　the　water　from　rising　fish。

I　rowed　up　opposite　the　fishermans　island　where　there　were　boats　drawn　up　and　men　were　mending　nets。

〃Should　we　get　a　drink？〃

〃All　right。〃

I　brought　the　boat　up　to　the　stone　pier　and　the　barman　pulled　in　the　line；　coiling　it　on　the　bottom　of　the　boat　and　hooking　the　spinner　on　the　edge　of　the　gunwale。　I　stepped　out　and　tied　the　boat。　We　went　into　a　little　caf？　sat　at　a　bare　wooden　table　and　ordered　vermouth。

〃Are　you　tired　from　rowing？〃

〃Ill　row　back；〃　he　said。

〃I　like　to　row。〃

〃Maybe　if　you　hold　the　line　it　will　change　the　luck。〃

〃All　right。〃

〃Tell　me　how　goes　the　war。〃

〃Rotten。〃

〃I　dont　have　to　go。　Im　too　old；　like　Count　Greffi。〃

〃Maybe　youll　have　to　go　yet。〃

〃Next　year　theyll　call　my　class。　But　I　wont　go。〃

〃What　will　you　do？〃

〃Get　out　of　the　country。　I　wouldnt　go　to　war。　I　was　at　the　war　once　in　Abyssinia。　Nix。　Why　do　you　go？〃

〃I　dont　know。　I　was　a　fool。〃

〃Have　another　vermouth？〃

〃All　right。〃

The　barman　rowed　back。　We　trolled　up　the　lake　beyond　Stresa　and　then　down　not　far　from　shore。　I　held　the　taut　line　and　felt　the　faint　pulsing　of　the　spinner　revolving　while　I　looked　at　the　dark　November　water　of　the　lake　and　the　deserted　shore。　The　barman　rowed　with　long　strokes　and　on　the　forward　thrust　of　the　boat　the　line　throbbed。　Once　I　had　a　strike：　the　line　hardened　suddenly　and　jerked　back。　I　pulled　and　felt　the　live　weight　of　the　trout　and　then　the　line　throbbed　again。　I　had　missed　him。

〃Did　he　feel　big？〃

〃Pretty　big。〃

〃Once　when　I　was　out　trolling　alone　I　had　the　line　in　my　teeth　and　one　struck　and　nearly　took　my　mouth　out。〃

〃The　best　way　is　to　have　it　over　your　leg；〃　I　said。　〃Then　you　feel　it　and　dont　lose　your　teeth。〃

I　put　my　hand　in　the　water。　It　was　very　cold。　We　were　almost　opposite　the　hotel　now。

〃I　have　to　go　in；〃　the　barman　said；　〃to　be　there　for　eleven　oclock。　Lheure　du　cocktail。〃

〃All　right。〃

I　pulled　in　the　line　and　wrapped　it　on　a　stick　notched　at　each　end。　The　barman　put　the　boat　in　a　little　slip　in　the　stone　wall　and　locked　it　with　a　chain　and　padlock。

〃Any　time　you　want　it；〃　he　said；　〃Ill　give　you　the　key。〃

〃Thanks。〃

We　went　up　to　the　hotel　and　into　the　bar。　I　did　not　want　another　drink　so　early　in　the　morning　so　I　went　up　to　our　room。　The　maid　had　just　finished　doing　the　room　and　Catherine　was　not　back　yet。　I　lay　down　on　the　bed　and　tried　to　keep　from　thinking。

When　Catherine　came　back　it　was　all　right　again。　Ferguson　was　downstairs；　she　said。　She　was　ing　to　lunch。

〃I　knew　you　wouldnt　mind；〃　Catherine　said。

〃No；〃　I　said。

〃Whats　the　matter；　darling？〃

〃I　dont　know。〃

〃I　know。　You　havent　anything　to　do。　All　you　have　is　me　and　I　go　away。〃

〃Thats　true。〃
